I ran across another problem if we have an 'open C' style of layout - we need
another bridge.  The loop containing your arch can't come back around if our
layout is open behind.

That's where the four tracks come from. The way Steve drew it the other
night, the main loop crossed over itself on the bridge, which of course
implies that it can't be "water" under the bridge.

Hmm.  I musta been out of the room at the time... If we're dispensing with
the idea of the bridge going over anything, why not just run 3 continuous
loops? (or in the case of an 'open C', 2 loops?)

(...) Quite right - I've got it "covered". ;-) (...) I think you were actually. :-) My original premise was that the bridge was crossing over the cross-over tracks in a larger scale update of my favorite train LEGO train cover photo from the 60's.
