I have a table set up that is an 11ftx8ft with a 3ft square section out of the rectangle, and I am using lionel fastrack( I have the legacy system) and menard's tubular track (love the look and sound of the tinplate track). I have 2 Mohawks so I am trying to keep most of the curves minimum of 0-54, the green track i have a bridge over the gap built but i cannot go further out due to a door being there. The red line is my 4% grade to the upper level(blue), which I am not 100% sold on what I laid out i am sure it can be done better. I would like to have a small yard and an industry or 2 but i cannot figure out how to work them in. I am still in the earlier design stage the only section I like and prefer to keep is the green and the incline, both of which are laid out already. any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I attached 2 pictures of the scarm track plans I have made so far. Thanks

Just a note, you should always attach the SCARM file so anyone with SCARM who wants to help doesn't have to start from scratch.
Sorry, I didn't think about posting it. here is the layout save on scarm

No problem. Here's something I put together base on what I was able to glean from the photos. I couldn't tell where all the Menard's tracks were, though I did notice the 5' TRN pieces. I also believe the FasTrack O-60 switches require the 1 3/8" half roadbed fitters, but I didn't add those.

Excellent!! I love that yard. the o-54 loop is menards and the upper o-72 will also be menards. which isnt a problem for me to go back in and figure out the ways to add the transitions in.
Don’t forget those half-roadbed pieces that come with the O-60 switches. You can leave them out, but then you’ll have to trim the roadbed on connecting pieces.
