Reply to "Can I fit 2 072 3 rail loops in this space?"

Where is the entrance to your room?  It's definitely possible to do three concentric ovals in 11 x 20.  But your benchwork would be of the "open doughnut" variety- a series of perimeter modules with an opening in the middle, that would have to be accessed by a lift gate, duck under, or swing-out section.

If the entrance to the room is on the right, I also think you could do a folded dogbone, with the turnback loops offset from each other.  You wouldn't  have very long runs though.

I strongly encourage you to think about other options.  My train room is 11.5 x 18.  After buying nothing but scale-sized trains for more than 10 years, I gave up on the idea of two concentric ovals.  I'm afraid I'll get bored with it after only a short time.
