I would have a hard time giving up the inner loop too, as it lets me run three trains at once which was one of the main goals here. 

I did consider elevating the outer loop, but I wasn't sure how tall I could really go in the "short" lengths available for the rise.  Like you show Dave, I thought anything above 2% was pretty steep too.  I considered a small elevation of maybe 3 or 4 inches just to give some vertical separation and still maintain shallower grades. 

As for the spurs in L, I left that area blank since I really didn't give it much thought.  A dual engine shed and refueling area would be cool.  

I just did some Googling about the open-grid construction method and from what I can see it  seems like a less restrictive starting point.  I can certainly see how it would lend itself to building scenery and track in either vertical direction from the nominal bench height.

So many great suggestions and ideas here, thank you all so much for the great information.
