I agree there isn't enough room for elevation ramps. That's
why my mountain-valley-bridge suggestion has both tracks at
the level of the tables. The upper portion of the mountain peaks
are above track/table level, while most of the "two sections" is
below the level of the table-top. I can see it clearly in my head,
(and it's beautiful) but transferring that image is difficult. Imagine
the mountain sitting on a table only about a foot tall, or even on
the floor itself, with the peaks at least a foot above the table.

It's just a starting point - That's why I sent you the file. I don't even know
if there are enough green tables available for it - that was to be one of my
first follow-up questions... :-)
