Yeah George I actually already had modified that first plan to combine the 2 liftout bridges to a double track Atlas bridge, and extended the left side loop out another 18". I also modified the post war loop to extend all the way outside the layout to eliminate the liftout bridge in the middle of the walkway. We took a more accurate measurement of the room and discovered its actually 17' 2" deep so that helps greatly. The postwar loop will run around the entire layout, most likely blocked into 2 blocks to run 2 trains with TMCC and a PowerMaster or TPC-400.
Because the postwar loop runs off the planned size you can't see it go all the way across. It does run from 1 side to the other, and the single track purple bridge will be a double track Atlas bridge that lifts out to access the walkway in the front of the room.
