Finally got color ink for the printer, long wait for it to go on sale. But, here is my First S scale layout design. Green is ground level, black in ground level tunnel, pink is incline, blue is second level tunnel and red is bridge. The straight side of the bridge on the bottom will be modeled after the Tunkhannock Viaduct with Paradise Valley written on the center span support arch wall. The center bridge is yet to be determined on what to use. The bottom black radius will be 28, while the second level blue radius will be 26. I made a reverse return loop on the right side as your looking at the design. I did away with the yard tracks on one side when I put the return loop. The two sidings are yet to be determined, the passenger/freight station might go under the viaduct. This will put my building skills to the test and try to improve my limits of what I can do. I plan to build it in three 5' wide x 4' long section modules to move easily. DCC control with manual throw AF fastrack R27 switches with shs/mth flex track on cork roadbed. I hope to start construction sometime next month if all my ducks get in a row. My 1225 will be doing double duty until I get my next steam engine or get an American Models RS-3 undecorated. Paint it black, white handrails like a L&NE RS-2 and Circus City Decals can make the L&NE decals but replace the lettering with Paradise Valley on the fried egg circle. Let me know what you think, the red track over the center has wiggle room to be adjusted to flow better into the curve on the top. Same with the reverse loop on the bottom, this is what I pictured in my mind.
