It looks like the inner loop is not connected with the outer loop. So, if that's correct, the outer loop stays at ground level, and the inner loop operates at all levels of the layout. If they are separate running two trains would be simple without possible incident (apart from jumping off track). 

 

If you wanted to connect the loops (if they're not connected), it looks like a double crossover one the left side of the pictured layout would work.

Just joined the O Gauge forum and saw your 8-6-14 posting.

 

 If you check our web suite we make multiple diameters of curved bridges.  it can be used as a helix  to drop or raise up trains we can make wider curved and straight sections.

You should add a link to your web site in your signature so we know where to look.

Dear Dctguy08

Do not think e had any drawing  uploaded, up we do have a Curved bridge as a EL bridge.  The item attached is a 34 " diameter and will run 3 trains in space of 1.  

 

If we can help let us know.  wee make large Diameters to.  have a 54" set for delivery next week and did a 100 " diameter a while back.

I would love to build this for Christmas.I'm so new I don't have a clue what most of the symbols represent,  I printed out the plan but I can't read the numbers. Is it 3 different sized curves? O-36, O-54 etc. Or am I totally lost? Which is probably true. I'm also trying to figure out if I build it separately from my village or try to incorporate in with my village.  How much do I need to save to build this? 

Here's the build list:

Item list for atlas 6 by 12.rrt
NUMBER          DESCRIPTION
(1)     45-1019          ScaleTrax  custom length straight
(33)    6060          Atlas  O54 22.5° curve

(8)     6046          Atlas  O45 7.5° curve
(1)     6052          Atlas  1.75 inch straight
(2)     6056X          Atlas  cut-to-length straight
(1)     6061          Atlas  O54 11.25° curve
(1)     6920          Atlas  single truss bridge
         

I like the plan because it has everything I am looking for as I am trying to come up with a track plan.  Do you know what % grade used to get the clearance for the trains where the top tracks go over the bottom tracks in the tunnel.  Do you plan to use all wood or something like woodland scenic foam elevated roadbed and pre-formed grade system.  I am trying to determine if I want to build up everything with wood, or styrene foam panels. Preformed is costly, and using wood requires figuring grade and cutting everything to fit.  I need some input to help me decide.
