Unfortunately I had to take out the siding, and I tried to arrange it so none of the tracks are directly beneath the others.  Obviously it's all up to you how you want to tweak it. 

Let me know what you think!

new to forum and building a dedicated train display. has anyone used this layout specifically?  I would like to know if someone has please. I really like the features. I have some fasttrack, but would definitely need to spend the cash to get all the needed curves and switches for this layout. (for my 13 and 10 year old boys and me to build). Have a 175 watt train master TW transformer. Thanks great forum!
