Please let me know what you think.

Wow, this is cool. Did you actually get the track to loop all the way
around into a complete circle and close the loop? (you commented that
you were off by one for each length of track on the inner rail)

When I first read this I thought perhaps of someone doing Technic scale
trains using the LEGO track as is(1), that would definitely be narrow
gauge (I think we all agree that even at Minifig scale, a 6 wide car on
the track we use is actually kind of "broad gauge")...

1 - This is analogous to HO modellers using N gauge track and wheelsets
to model narrow gauge.
