Dan, your above tresled layout, without the outer loop and using 027 Lionel tubular track, is the one my Dad built for me on a 4 by 8 foot plywood board when I was about 11 years old (57 years ago). I loved it. Arnold
As you can see, alot of action can be had with this track design. Plenty of room for operating accessories. This was my last Lionel layout before I started messing with large scale trains in the early nineties. It is the same track plan as the one I posted.
