You’re planning on the same bridge as I have in about the same position so I will tell you ahead of time it looks easier on paper than reality. The issue is the supports on either end. To do what you want (which is the same as what I wanted and did) you will end up with all kinds of clearance problems for the trains passing underneath. I had to get creative and adjust the angle of the bridge quite a bit. You have the top level drawn much better than I did but I think you’ll have to shallow out the S curve below. I spent many hours with the upper deck loosely in place while running cars and locos both ways on both lower tracks watching for both mid car and end of loco clearances. I had it where I thought it was perfect and then found out I couldn’t get certain locos to go over the bridge without hitting the sides! I guess my point is, I quickly found out the software will allow you to do many things that just won’t work in the real world. If there’s anything at all I can do to help or pics I can provide please don’t hesitate to reach out as I’d be happy to share my experiences and results. I’m far from the experienced experts here, but quickly realized how steep the bridge clearance learning curve is.
