I have a room in my basement that is 9 x 14. There is a door in the bottom
left. The only entrance! I would like to have a walkway into the room and • be
able to reach the whole layout from above. This is Version 1.
Any help whould be apprciated. I have 2 cross tracks but was unable to • place
them. I also have a coal facilty that sits above the 4 tracks on the right
side.

Were you planning on having any buildings on this layout, Jim? There's not
much space for them between the roads and tracks. The two switches in the
top right and top left look as though they would be inaccessible, too,
unless you have a really long reach. Even if you make them powered switches,
Murphy's law states that something will go wrong and you'll need to reach
them.

Depending on what your objectives are, you might want to have 2 loops so you
can have 2 trains running at once. With that much track, it ought to be
possible :-)
