On my old layout I put an 072 O gauge loop on the outside and a Standard gauge loop on the inside of that -I think they were 052 curves. Fit well no problem. but  do you have that much space ??

Jim,

Your track arrangement may have fit but with Standard Gauge trains running behind O gauge trains you run contrary to a "forced perspective" layout where large trains run in front of smaller trains giving the layout a feeling of greater depth.
