Reply to "10x12 - Two Level Fastrack Layout"

Very nice presentation - Cheers!   Good design - around the room route over the lift-out bridge, and the loop to loop at the lower level.   Plus the elevated level.   Smart features overall.

One issue:  the aisleways look too tight.   One person rubbing against the edges of the layout - no visitors or a second operator inside.   But is appears there is plenty of space at the front of the layout - correct?

I can't tell what the sections are, what the curves are, etc.   So I can't inspect and perhaps make suggestions on the configuration in order to expand the aisle.   Perhaps move that spur on the lower level closer to the right side to expand the aisle.   If you have a more detailed or labeled diagram that would be helpful in evaluating your design.

It looks like the reverse curve into the turntable (Atlas?) looks like a problem.   Try a left-hand turnout a section back for your lead to the turntable to eliminate the "S" curve. 

On the left side, there are two elevated tracks and two tracks beneath in a very close space.   How will you scenic this, a trestle bridge above running the entire length of the wall?  Or perhaps the elevated layout will be on a shelf, substantially (18"+) above the lower level? (substantially higher so you can see the lower level without the shelf blocking the view and breaking the illusion).

Innovative and well thought out!  -Ken
