The Plan

Again, welcome back, thanks for looking.

With the room and area picked out, and the size and type of bench work decided.  It's now time for a plan.

I wanted a unique plan.  Something really easy on the bench work, and track work.  Minimize the number of turn outs.  But with plenty of elevation front to back.

I am not a guy that likes operations.  I like building the layout and watching the trains go round and round. 

Goals:
3 trains running independent. 
No grades.
Multiple landscapes
Lots of tunnels and bridges.
Best view from front. (remembering that while being viewed the back site will be up against the window.)
Window view must have something fun to look at.

The Plan:

From SRO RR - Summitville Branch

Three loops.  Each loop is separated by 5" elevation.

For ease of drawing most of the plan has sectional.  It will actually be 100% Flex plus Peco insulfrog turn outs.

Green loop is lowest.  Black loop is middle.  Blue loop is highest.
The light gray is rock face/cliff, and will actually run around most of the layout.
The dark gray is flat and mid way up the rock face.  It's is the only area the middle loop will be visible.  The rest of the run will be in a tunnel.

Under the mountains will be all cookie cutter construction allowing for easy cleaning.

The back side where the tracks are stacked will be all rock face with "windows" into the tunnels.  Making it easier to clean track there.
