Is this one of your first layouts?
I like the track plan. The "S" curves provide even even distribution of ware to the flanges.
Are the curves are laid with a mix of Flex track and Sectional track?
I been planning on building a new layout for some time but have not settled on a track plan yet.

I have had trains since the 50's so I don't think this is the first layout, maybe about the 8th . There is a mix of code 83 flex and sectional track

Great track plan.  It should be a lot of fun to run.  And your backgrounds!  What can I say?  They are literally luminous!

P.D.,

I'll say it again.  That is a clever design.  You get an Attaboy...

Despite the fact it is not quite yet finished, this looks like a fun layout!
Continous Running, Sidings, switching yards, a diamond,Point A to B operation, or staging areas or used for both?, even has a turn table.   
I like seeing some of all of that in a layout, not just limited to one type of operation.

At my age, I doubt I'll be able to finish it but I'll make a huge dent in it!

Have you drawn up the track plan or just built it out of memory?
Again it looks very good.

I used the atlas software to draw what is shown on the first page of this thread.

What era do you model? what type scenery are you planing to install?
