I like this one better than the previous iteration.  A smaller mountain
gives us more room for structures.  Another plus is that it has a
crossover on the inner loop.

The monorail supports at the corners of the layout may interfer with
longer cars.  Don't change the layout because of this though...
I'd suggest that you simply build some creative supports.
