Hi. Long time lurker first post I think. Anyway I'm gonna be tearing to old layout down and building another in a different room of the house. The room is kinda odd but this is what I've managed to come up with. I'm using Pelle Seoberg's layout as inspiriation for mine. First I'll list what I think I have to have.
1. As broad of curves as possible especially on the visible parts of the layout.
2. I want a long stretch of visible track to see most fo the train in one shot.
3. I do not want too much track. I don't want it to look like a spider web.
4. It has to accomdate modern 6 axle locos double stack and 89' auto carriers.
5. Last would be a double track main line.
Here are drawings of the main and upper level. The lower level is the same as the main but with a passing siding somewhere and will be entirely hidden under the layout. Let me know of any questions and suggestions. Note this is only a rough sketch and is completely open to change.

Hopefully the files show up.
