A system I've become very interested in is the Slaskie Tramways, in Upper Silesia, Poland. It's a complex network in an old industrial area, largely operated by classic cars, derived from Tatra PCCs. Here's a great overview. I've been exploring some of the routes in Google Earth and came across this gem.
Another one is nearer Katowice, allowing trams on routes 23 and 37 to turn. It's more scenic than the first example and has a rather neat little station, Szopienice Petla, inside one of the triangles.
Here's a view of the station on Streetview:
And if these aren't prototypes for a Tomix loop, I don't know what is!
