This is level I am trying out a 5 ft train, this track is made for small trains up to 5 ft.

 Here you see the train running on an s shaped track.

The train is now on the level 3 bridge on its way to level 2.

This is a siding for 2 fast trains and and 2 slow trains.  It can take up to 4 trains 12 ft long.

This is a photo of level 3, 2 and 1.  The holes are cut out in case a train derails.  The next stage is to make a lift-up scenery with one track at the back and scenery at the front.

This is the same view which includes an incline.  At the far end the track is at the front and the lifting scenery is to be at the back. This creates a gentle curve at this level.

This shows the angle from level 2 to level 3.

This is a viaduct curving above a river and embankments.  It is on an incline from level 2 to level 3.  The viaduct is handmade, originally cardboard but strengthening it with plastic. Some legs of the viaduct need lengthening to fit the layout.  The board,  top left,  is level 3.

This photo shows you level 3 board on the left and incline bridge going up to level 3 from level 2 on the right.  Next to the bridge will be scenery including a hill.

This shows 2 sidings and the 2 main lines lead to the other side of the room via a lifting  access.  The single track leads down to the harbour.

This crossover allows me to change the route from the outside to the inside track.

Unfortunately the incline was too steep so I had to change everything, cutting 4 cm off to make it lower, so now the backtracks go down 2.5 cm over a length of 275 cm. The front tracks go up 4 cm over 244 cm making it a gentler climb than earlier which is necessary for 8 coaches with lights.  The earlier version was ok for all the other trains I have without lights.

I have started building the frame for level 3 and have nearly finished the baseboard for one train going up and another going down in different directions.

The previous incline was too steep for the Pullman coaches with lights so I changed it to be less steep because last time it did not work.  Now it can climb with 8 coaches with lights.  Each coach is one foot and the train is also a foot long, in total 9 feet.

Incline number 2 is S shaped

More detail of 2 levels with S shaped going up and the other going down.

This part is level one slowly rising to level two.  The back part is meeting up with the bridge  joining the harbour further back.  In the foreground there is space for a double lifting track to allow access to the centre of the layout.

This is the area where the track at the back is going down very gently to a lower level.  

 This is level 2 for the harbour.

This is the bridge for level 2 , over water.

 

This top level is for a passenger station, the bottom level is water with a containership harbour.  Middle level is for container wagons.

This is the start of building a table for a harbour for container trains.  Another level for the water, one for the harbour and the top one is for the station.

A lower level for narrow boat canal, making it look more natural

On this one I raise the track by 1/2 inch over 3 feet for a gentle climb

Here you see different levels, the turntable, a coal hopper and coal mine.  Designed for larger trains.

This is the framework for the turntable for steam engines. 23x2ft.

 

 

This photo shows the framework for different levels.  20x3ft.

This is the start of a very slow descending track which is 6 ft long and it goes down one inch from level 2 to level 1.  The widest is 2 ft 4 x 2 ft.  The end bit is 10inch wide 4 ft long.

 

This photo is a side view to show you what level one and two look like.
