If you had trains as a kid, you may have had them on the floor. If you were like me, you probably got down on your stomach for a railfan's view.
I can still get that view today on my double-deck CP Rail M & M Sub.; half of the upper level is just below my eye-level, and the other half is just a bit above, providing a unique perspective on the trains. The photo above is what trains look like at my eye-level (I'm 5 '10).
Layout height is an interesting topic for many model railroaders; you can see photos of the upper level on my layout at http://cprailmmsub.blogspot.com/2010/02/layout-height-or-remember-when-you-were.html
