Reply to "Atlas O CSX ES44 2-rail, just got them!"

Carl,

The upper or very top loop is completely isolated and independent and will be for my 3rail trains (mostly Lionel). I will use Micromark 2rail track and attempt to lay down an HO center rail. I plan to run 2 or 3 rail on top. I'm using Micromark and not Atlas like the rest of the layout because there is slightly more clearance and just enough to clear the 3rail flanges. The flanges barely hit the rail spikes on the atlas track. All other track will be Atlas 2-rail since it flexes very easily unlike Micromark.

The bottom is connected to the middle (in red) via a 2% grade as you see from my CSX photo and video with the trains climbing the grade. The bottom of the grade is at the WYE but its messy there, I was working on something on this version.
