I hope you get around to building it too! This is a great layout. It's rather
difficult to create a large layout, doubly difficult to make it interesting (and
not just look like a double loop). I always find it particularly diffucult to
resist the temptation to make the tables too congested, but you seem to have left
plenty of room for your cool scenery. When the layout enters the physical world, I
assume there will be additional sidings. If you plan to do operations, you may
want to add another run-around pass on the opposite side from A. Then you can have
front-facing sidings over there as well.
I also especially like the over/underpass.
The rest of your stuff on Brickshelf is also beautiful. Nice job.

| (...) I agree with that! Models can only be appreciated to the fullest by seeing the stuff in all three dimensions :-) However, the layout I have in mind requires at lot of wooden structures to support the scenary, I have uploaded my initial design (...)
