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.

i dont need the track plans anymore. i made a layout about 7x10 or so a few days ago (it took up my whole day! i dont mind though).

you've got alot of space ut if it only took 1 day it could get better.

alex wittman
