@Tom Tee Great point with the oval. I planned on the foundation to be acrylic or plexiglass and I'm keeping it to a single track so I can make it as wide as need be to contain a derailment.

I've been cutting plexiglass recently and learning about cutting acrylic. Worst case is I bring the dimensions of the rounded cuts to a glass shop. I think I can use strong double stick tape or even glue to sequre the tracks to the clear foundation.

I picked up the train tonight! It's an MTH NJ Transit E8 Diesel Set

Unfortunately I'm unable to find any passengers cars for it so I'm using Lionel NJ Transit cars from this set.

I'm going to continue searching for the MTH ones but these will do for the time being.
