Christmas Tree layout

Is that an RR-Track layout? If so, could you post the rrt file, I'd like to take a closer look at the incline.

Are the locos clearing the branches on the upper level? Most are 4" - 4-1/2" high. 18" low branch - 16" track height + 4" loco = call to Santa's Search & Rescue.  

Looks like it will be fun!

@DoubleDAZ here you go

@Moonman, the green circle does represent the tree (branches). Since it's a fake tree, Santa will be able to shape the branches around the track. Santa wanted 21in off the floor, Mrs Claus said she didn't want a green rocket ship in the family room while waiting for 12/24. It doesn't look bad at 18. but 21 would be kind of hideous. I may have built a way to raise the tree as needed. She doesn't know this yet 

Good Luck and hope your slope is not too steep. If it is just souble up on the Adult bevrages and you will not have any issues.

Eggnog & branch shaping it will be then. Thanks for your service. Glad your home.

Thanks. I just wanted to see what the grade was and it looks like a pretty steep 6.9%. So, I lowered the 2nd level from 12" to 6" and that reduced the grade to 3.4%. I'm considering raising my 2nd level to 12" and am looking at different ways to get up there. A small helix similar to your spiral is something I'm considering. 

Here are some others I worked on. Not being used due to floor footprint, Under the tree and against the wall was the requirement.

The one posted to open the thread was acceptable since the reversing loops will be out of the way.
