OK going to join the HO scalers here finally with some construction project this winter.
I already have the lumber so there is no backing out, and most of the track is in the mail
Anyways I like this plan because of all the different levels, but one thing it did not have was a hidden station, so I added that. It does also not have an area for loco service but I think I can live with that for now.
Here is the artist rendering from the book:

Here is my modified plan:

The plan is to use M tracks and a 6021 for digital control and later computer added.
Only concern is putting in the river as the first reversing loop (and hidden station tracks) must be UNDER the river bed. I guess the river will have different elevated sections as well to cover the tracks below. I figure I need about 3.5" of clearance, maybe 4" to have trains, track and 3-4mm of cork roadbed underneath.
Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
