Reply to "layout idea i had ..."

No offense Sir...don't take this the wrong way.  You have a "spaghetti bowl" of track; as many people do.  You would discover if you actually, design a layout, NOT just fit track to a space, you would have a more enjoyable operation.

No matter what anyone does, if you construct loop after loop of track with trains chasing their tails in an endless circle, you will eventually tire of it.

Trains run from point to point, place to place, it would be better to get the train to go somewhere and then come back.  I don't know what space you have, but a shelf layout traveling two or three sides of a room with a train going to one end, reversing, coming back is much more interesting and life-like vs. loops.  Giving the Operator something to do other than watch his/her train circle and control speed.

:-)  Get some sidings!  Build a small yard and switch cars around.  Have a place to deliver the goods.  Get away from looping!  :-)
