I am using Atlas O 3-rail track. One of the ramps is starts on 64.5" of straight track, then goes in a half circle made of O-81 curves, goes straight for 20", then goes over 2 O-81 curve sections and then ends after another 30" of straight track. The other ramp starts with two O-81 curves, straightens for 11.75", goes over four O-81 curves, straightens for 99.25", goes over four more O-81 curves and then ends after 40" of straight track. The largest engine I plan to use on it will be an AC-12 Cab Forward but the average size will be closer to a 2-8-2/4-8-4 for steam locomotives and EMD E7s for diesels. As far as consist size goes, I'm in the mindset of "as long as possible".
