The outer loop is 054 and the inner is 042. I run small steam and first generation diesel, 40' boxcars, 2-bay hoppers, and 60' passenger cars so 042 works for me. The passing sidings use Ross #4 to save room so the siding isn't too far out into the scenery area. The other switches are Ross 042. The passing sidings are short, only an engine and about 4 cars and a caboose will fit, but they are level. I think your idea is very workable. In fact, this plan is still a work in progress for my particular needs anyway.
