Hi,
I began a new layout to EnzoVille II and I need help with the ideas or tips because I add loop and reverse.
Due to space my biggest radius is 072 and the smallest is 063.
Thank you !

Leandro, I don't know what kind of track you are using, but if you can make it fit try this solution. Attach the top part of your inner loop to the bottom part of your inner loop at the top of the layout and you will gain reversing loops in each direction. In your case you will have to also alter the lead from your roundhouse to the mainline.

That is a very nice plan. I am a little confused because you show the room as 17x12 but the layout is 21 feet wide? Chooch's suggestion definitely makes it more interesting and gives it flexibility. I have seen several people do amazing things in spaces as small as this. Check out Dennis Brennan's book. You will soon tire of continuous running of the trains. You will want to add some switching possibilities because that will add interest to the layout. Do you need a double main? Can you do the two lines on separate levels? Just some suggestions.
Let me try this one more time

Hopefully the third time is the charm

Chooch, Thank you !
I stay impression with the layout and ideas!
I pretend to use Atlas in the new layout.
I would like idea, because I don't have ideas and I just do the basic layout.
Thanks,

Bob, Thanks !
Yes, my space is 17x12f, but I don't no idea why the project with is 21 feet. I will check the project.
I love double main, but yes I can two lines in separate levels that would be interesting !
My problem is the lack of ideas !

Chooch, Thanks! Very Impressive.
Hi !
After your comments I thought of this loop reverse but the switch should always have to work.

Leandro, I see you have the idea with the reversing loops, but if you want to fit it into a 17' wide space you will probably have to reduce your nested curves to 072 and 063. Looking forward to seeing how this develops. Good luck. Rich

Yes, I would like to have 072 but I think that will have to put 063 / 054!
