Just wondering for now: would it be worthwhile to convert the upper level loop and long grade to reach it, to MTH Scaletrax? With the lighter rail and wider tie spacing, the Scaletrax might look like a branchline, built to a lower standard than the heavy Atlas-O track?
Scaletrax does not have O45 or O42 turnouts, I would have to use O54 turnouts, and then flex to complete the loop at perhaps O44. Confirmed this would fit in the current footprint for the upper loop.
Here it is with Scaletrax for the upper loop and long incline.
