Not going to copy it, and my board will probably be a bit larger or even an "L" shape.  I just liked your layout, it seems hard to find track plans online, I even bought a Bachman track planing book and found out there actualy aren't many track diagrams in it at all...let alone with multiple continuous tracks. 

Now that I've thought about it I might just buy a bunch of different track/risers and just play with the layout until it looks cool. 

Thanks everyone, I think I will base it off the layout at the top of this page, I think the Tidmoth Sheds and Knapford Station should be able to fit once they are released.  I'll just leave the spot where the RoundHouse is empty or just place a few extra side tracks until it's released.

I may also do a 3rd circle around the 22" radius curves to be able to run 3 trains simultaniously.  I don't remember off hand what radius fits snug to the outside of the 22"  Anyone here know off hand?  I should be able to figure it out from my Bachman layout book if not.

I will be using the Bachman EZ Track Nickel Silver and add ballast too, seems to be the best and most reliable track system out there.

Thanks Thomas Fan!  I'm guessing maybee they are the standard type that come in the track packs.  I guess I'll pick up a starter set or maybee two to get started.

I was also wondering if anyone here knows how the engines in the Thomas line do with inclines?  I was also wanting to get one of the elevation pier sets to do an over/under track.  Do these trains perform ok going up hills or is that really intended for the higher end locomotives?

I'm sorry for a dumb question, but I'm new here, and pretty much brand new to HO trains.  I just bought a few of the Thomas sets to make a train table for my son and really like the layout shown above.  Looks like it would fit nicely in the space I have.  But, could I ask what specific type of switch tracks are used for the turn outs and the movement from track 1 to track 2?  Also what radius are the curves?

Appreciate the help,
