Are you going to use a Lionel trestle set? If you do, make sure your clearances takes into account the newer larger trains.....for example some of Lionel's MPC era cars don't clear the 4 3/4" clearance without scraping.

 

Have fun.

Peter,

 

Thanks for the comment.

 

This will be my forth layout.  My goals are long straights, grade changes, ability to reach all areas of the layout without pop ups, no switches in tunnels, etc.   Trying to learn from past mistakes and/or experience.   Along the wall the layout will only be 30 inches deep.  I would like to use a lionel trestle set.  My track will have Johnson's Rubber Roadbed.  Not sure how that will work with the roadbed,  could use a masonite base under it or just eliminate the roadbed on the trestle sections.

 

Having fun with it.   Here is a photo of my progress so far.
