Reply to "Building a new 104 sq ft Layout 3-Rail O-Scale Track"

Thomas, it gets a little exciting once parts and equipment start arriving, doesn't it?

Some food for thought:
There's no reason other angles won't work/look better and follow the track more closely if that's your goal. However, I'm still concerned about the "S" curves that were introduced with the move to the half curves and those in the reversing loops. The 3rd photo shows how I redesigned the curves with 10" straights and full curves to eliminate the "S" curves. Yes, it takes away a little space between the blue/gold tracks, but it lets you add a bit of scenery along the bottom and also makes the bottom run a little safer. The photo includes the changes to the storage yards that I mentioned previously.

Here's another version that gives you a larger storage yard on the left and another spur on the right. The purple tracks can be moved higher to more closely match the 1st version.
