The wording is very small and the symbols are difficult to read. I searched Google for a larger spec sheet and layout plan. Any idea where I can go further on my search?

Thanks for sending the track information. I also saw the layout in the magazine and was interested in a similar type layout. I am new to the hobby and perhaps someone can explain how the lift out truss bridge works. I thought the tracks were attached through the bridge. To do the liftout do you have to remove the tracks/pins from the adjacent piece? If yes, does that create problems with contacts over time? thanks
You can search for “lift out bridge” and you’ll find several threads showing different methods.
Found it, thanks. Easiest way appears to be using the lionel extended truss bridge, which lifts out and doesn't involve any construction...
That looks like 3 ovals, not what I would call a thrice around. To me a thrice around would be one track that goes around 3 times.
I take that back, it can be 3 ovals or a thrice around, nice plan.
Here is a Thrice Around the Tree adaptation from the other mag some time ago. Forum member SantaFeVA acquired a build of it. FasTrack - Around to Incline - around at elevation - around decline

Here is the track plan for this layout.
I hope this is helpful. I would be happy to discuss and answer questions about this layout.
Its really thrice-around or TWO ovals. -Ken Hoganson

Thanks Ken, this really helped. This looks like a fun layout for the summer. I needed the bigger display to get the right track size. I will be substituting with MTH track which I have lots and lots of!
