Starting that grade right off pf the turnout is going to give you problems. I would try
to rework my track plan to move the incline. Dave

not bad

I second that.

Also, How perminent are the bridge supports? The track going under the bridge looks a little close.

what is your basic concept for the layout ? if your reason for building a layout is to watch trains run around in circles (and not only is there nothing wrong with that , it’s also quite relaxing!) then your plan is great . however most people here are trying to create a transportation system that delivers raw materials , finished goods , and/or passengers from place to place

I like it. My layout is a roundy-round layout. I never got into the ‘operating’ aspect. I had a tunnel with one entrance and two exits like that on my drawing but somehow it didn’t make it into the final drawing. Maybe it should have.

My only concern on your layout is can you reach everything on your layout? It looks like some of it would be hard to get to. Cleaning, derailments whatever, something is going to make you get to the hardest part to reach one day.
