Hi everyone,
I'm a new member who will be seeking everyone's help. The closest I got to anything "train" was walking on the rails when I was a kid. I've always been interested in having my own train model one day and that day has come. In my new house, we have a finished basement which will be used almost only for my new hobby. Here's a plan of the basement with a proposed table layout to start with.

I've finished building my tables and have assembled 6 of them with 4 more to be installed this week

For the last 4 weeks, I've been working on my design. I'm now on my 7th plan. My goal was to have a passenger train run along the entire layout on a higher level and freight with different yards on a lower level. This is what I came up with.

So, I would appreciate your comments, good or bad. Like I said, my knowledge of trains, layouts, logic and more is limited to internet videos, forums and blogs. I'm very meticulous, have build miniature houses and design golf courses with 3D's and textures for games on internet. I'm very patient and have got the time to learn.
Thanks
