Track plan revision

I've done some things here and there, but its slowed down.  I'm finding that I've been thinking way to much and doing to little.  So I thought I'd post this and see if I can push forward a bit.

I revised the plan to include another way down from the top layer, before I had only 1 way down and no way to turn a train around.  The revision allows a train to come up, make a complete loop and then descend to the bottom layer.   The picture is below, the green is the top layer, about 10" above the blue.

Also a bit frustrating is my deviation from the plan !  I'm finding that I'm close in my layout but there are some serious differences. For example the Kitchener Yard - I screwed it up a bit and my two engine leads are going to have to be on the south end and not the north as on this plan.  Also there are going to be some seriously steep cliffs as I don't think I thought enough about horizontal elevation changes.

I thought of a new style for my layout plan - the actual with pictures, so I tried it out with mixed results.  Only the top half, I still had a few problems with skew and my angles.  I think next time I'll have to rig up a fix to hold the camera vertical every time.

I hope that it will all work out in the end !
