I've seen the Wuppertahnbahn diorama too, it's great! What's the URL again?

BTW Have you considered using just the power rails from the 12v system for
the upper track. This way you get the power, the single rail look, yet the
double rail geometry for a multi-contact rolling surface.

This would be an interesting challenge to work with. You would need to
use the 70s era power pickups, and then attach wires to them to power a
motor. Narrow tires can be run in the gap between the two rails giving
very positive guidance.
