My main problem here is that the main-line loops all have places where
the train has to go through the curved part of a switch. The outer loop

If you can fix things so that the mainline portion goes through the straight
parts of the switches...
Where does the mountain go? Top left corner? If so, I would suggest not
having switches in tunnels.
