20 x 8 ft basement layout. HO. Green is plywood and beige is open floor. The blue track is a down slope and that loops back up.

I want long flowing sections, a below grade tunnel and double main action. I enjoy crossovers and the clack of the wheels so I put a bunch in there. I also want to be able to turn the train around without using a turn table. I’m also adding a lift out and a duck under.

As far as operations, (DCC) i want one train running the main and one doing switching.

Inspired by the Atlas “The Central Midland” from the 1960’s. I plan to model the 70-80’s and a mix of everything. Upon further reading, I’m looking for a mix of spaghetti bowl with a modern shelf sections. The wye out of the yard allows trains to be turned around.

Still a work in progress. I update this daily. What do you think?
