Joe Gozzo,
At one time I considered a STD/O Gauge layout like you are planning, and I got to tell you I discarded the idea because running the concentric loops took up to much space with the 8.5" separation needed to actually run the Tin Plate Trains properly. I will eventually engineer a STD Gauge loop thru the Bar/Tunnel on a lower level, the loop will be slightly larger than my O gauge layout above it. Make sure when you design your loops you leave enough space between the concentric loops to actually run your trains in opposite directions properly. After seeing Doc's (Thom's) layout and the Standard Gauge Engines he runs, I realized this takes some serious space to run both Trains, at the same time on concentric loops.

Dave , however I have too much invested in standard gauge not to run it with the O gauge so somehow I'll have to work it out but I appreciate your input
