It looks like the outer is a simple loop. The inner loop is a dog bone that sort of figure 8's upon itself with elevation inside the outer loop.
It looks like the inner loop is not connected with the outer loop. So, if that's correct, the outer loop stays at ground level, and the inner loop operates at all levels of the layout. If they are separate running two trains would be simple without possible incident (apart from jumping off track).
If you wanted to connect the loops (if they're not connected), it looks like a double crossover one the left side of the pictured layout would work.
Another view:
First, you have to figure out what kind of track is being used. It looks like S scale.
They are. The bottom diagram(not mine, by the way - it's from an earlier OGR Forum post) has the catalog numbers(easier to see if you right-click, view image).
I'd be interested using atlas O track. Outer track would be 054 radius. inner dog bone sizes ?. table size approx. 5x9 or so. Thinking this years Christmas layout.
This plan was posted in a magazine at one point or another.... I liked it when I saw it.... the plan was a S gauge plan however they also provided a plan for o gauge sectional track.
I have a plan in both fast track and atlas on my home computer and I post them when I get a chance. They are in RR track software.
Thanks Metjet!
Please post the RRTrack Files when you get a chance!
Thank you in advance!
Here is the atlas track plan... it is 6 by 12.

Just joined the O Gauge forum and saw your 8-6-14 posting.
If you check our web suite we make multiple diameters of curved bridges. it can be used as a helix to drop or raise up trains we can make wider curved and straight sections.

Hi Chris, your drawing seems to be alittle different than the design that is in the previous subject photos of the winter layout. Do you have a drawing of that layout by chance? Thanks, DCI Guy

Dear Dctguy08
Do not think e had any drawing uploaded, up we do have a Curved bridge as a EL bridge. The item attached is a 34 " diameter and will run 3 trains in space of 1.
If we can help let us know. wee make large Diameters to. have a 54" set for delivery next week and did a 100 " diameter a while back.
I would love to build this for Christmas.I'm so new I don't have a clue what most of the symbols represent, I printed out the plan but I can't read the numbers. Is it 3 different sized curves? O-36, O-54 etc. Or am I totally lost? Which is probably true. I'm also trying to figure out if I build it separately from my village or try to incorporate in with my village. How much do I need to save to build this?
Here's the build list:
Thank you so much. Everyone has been so gracious.
I like the plan because it has everything I am looking for as I am trying to come up with a track plan. Do you know what % grade used to get the clearance for the trains where the top tracks go over the bottom tracks in the tunnel. Do you plan to use all wood or something like woodland scenic foam elevated roadbed and pre-formed grade system. I am trying to determine if I want to build up everything with wood, or styrene foam panels. Preformed is costly, and using wood requires figuring grade and cutting everything to fit. I need some input to help me decide.
