The grade is 3.2% to 6.5"

 

There are two places where there is a fitment issue. A slight misalignment at the low right to the long straight and the piece of straight just past the switch on the r-loop straight will be a cut piece.

 

had to take sectional snips because of the length to zoom in for track number detail.

 

What do you think?

Carl,

 

I like it.  However not crazy about the switch inside the tunnel.  On a past layout I had a switch inside a tunnel and it always was trouble. I suppose the mountain and tunnel entrance could be shifted to the left and the trestle extended.

 

The narrow section (30") does limit scenic space.  I will put a retaining wall with building flats along the wall.

 

The table section by the electric panel will be removable (just in case I need to change a breaker). The electrical panel will be covered by a removable flat of a power/industrial plant.

 

Would like to try and add least one siding and/or possibly a trolley line.  I realize this is being limited by the 30" depth.   I could expand it, possibly to 32".  

 

 

 

Thanks again for your help.

Paul
