Alien Attitude.
Here's my start.
It was drawn on a 1/2" = 1 foot scale.
The link point between the 2 loops are 4 Atlas switches (not the quick turn ones) with about a 16" piece of Flex Track on the outer loop.
Along the walkway, I have a rise on the outer loop leading to a lift bridge. The dots in between the 2 loops are for future expansion, rail yards, etc. The outer loop is centered 3" off the outer edge and as you look at it, I stretched a 1/4" 3.25" wide board to soften the curve on the left side of the layout. I do know I want to run separate trains on the 2 loops which should be far enough apart at the junction to allow this. I'll be running DC until such time as I can afford to start get a digital setup at a later date.
