Mike, 

The slots.

When I do a bunk bed staging I usually hinge the top deck for access like this:

toy boxes 005

toy boxes 008

This permits physical and visual access.  However this time  I am going to use a fixed top deck with observation slots between the supports for visual access only.

Because the lower tracks are so  open  and accessible I do not feel the need to have a hinged deck.  Here is a shot of the lower deck uncovered:

This is an off stage work room with hidden turntables serving three different branch line ends.

As far as a track plan goes, well, er, I have  changed it so much that posting it would only be misleading.   This is a tee shaped  2k sq ft basement with an interchange yard serving five branch lines mounted off the wall.  Lots of of track, 87 turnouts, five turntables, 9 CM-20  powerpacks, three Dallee power packs and ten Z-1000 AC packs with 9 panels. 90% benchwork done, 80% of track down, several panels need built.  A maze of wires run and more to go.  Should have gone R/C battery.

 

An early shot before changes:

The long arch bridges are now in the far back at top of photo below:
