Reply to "Help With Track Design"

Paul,

 

I've been looking at this plan trying to figure out how to make it two loops like you want.  The problem is its works out to be two tracks each with a reversing loop at each end.  This requires at least one crossover at each end that will make unattended running of two trains iffy; you will have to monitor the crossovers all the time or set up an automatic stop/start system for each crossover that will keep the trains from colliding.

 

Anyway, here is a picture of what I'm talking about with the crossover (excuse my freehand drawing, I'm not too steady now-a-days).

Here is my attempt to draw the tracks on your layout design.

Anyway, I think it will be a bit complicated and you may want to look at other designs that give you two loops without the crossovers.
