Dear Chris,
Actually, it's not much of a trackplan. There are two concentric ovals on the lower levels, and a single oval on top.
I'm in the process of duplicating it for a museum in Ohio, so I'll post new track layout pictures as it progresses.
Have fun!

18" radii inside, 22" outside, and 15/18 on the upper loop. Those are just assumptions.

Well I built my friends 4x8 layout without any help and without a track plan. <Probably not smart>, but for the all-elevated section we're adding, I had to track plan it.
