How will you handle the elevated r-loop? terrain or supports?

 

There are two measurements that I had to guess. If you give them to me I can correct the table dimensions.

 

The first would be from the left side to the point of the angle where the 15' run starts.

 

The second is the end near the door. I didn't know the width and made it 48". Will you just make the top larger than the frame or should it be smaller? There has to be some room edge to track. It's 042 outer there.

 

 

Ron,

 

I would support the switch with an isolated piece of terrain, the elevated reverse loop would be mountain terrain.

 

Here are the dimensions you requested.

 

The first would be from the left side to the point of the angle where the 15' run starts. - Approx. 7 feet 

 

The second is the end near the door. I didn't know the width and made it 48" - 51 inches.

 

I also like Sinclair's idea of starting the grade earlier (before the curves on the right side.

 

Thanks,

Paul
