I was hoping to have two baseboards/layouts connected by a helix.
Both layouts are a double loop but I was more concerned about the height. I'm quite happy for one layout to be 1 or 2ft off the ground, I'm 24 and relatively fit so no issues with the back (yet). I'm sure I could fit both layouts one above the other but the main concern with the height is if this will severely limit the amount of scenery I can do on the bottom layout.
I know that people make these layouts and have a helix connecting to a fiddle yard but if I remember correctly, they're just tall enough to allow the trains, disregarding buildings and that.
Note: I've attached 3 track plans that are still in progress but I think they show what I'm trying to say (hopefully).
If it's not feasible, I will probably stick to one of the track plans.
