Thank you Jennifer. I sent you the info, I just hope I did it correctly.

If you'd like to send me your contact information, I can pass it on to Barri Evangelisti, the creator of the spare room layout. I'm sure he'd be happy to give you more information about his elevated line.

Good morning! I'm recently started work on my new layout, and I've been trying to come up with an idea for an elevated track. I will have two lines at table level, then I want a third line that will be in the back and it will extend out over the other lines. However, I haven't really figured out how I want to accomplish this. I have the Lionel Elevated trestle set, but I really don't want to use them. They take up too much space, and I don't really want to see just the track hanging up in the air.
I opened the most recent issue of CTT, and on page 44 there is an article about a 2 level layout in a spare room. I very much like the look of the elevated line in the featured layout, but they don't include any real info about how it was built. I was hoping someone here might be able to share some insight on this, or other similar ideas for elevating my track. If it matters, I'm using Lionel FasTrack. I've tweaked the plan for the main line to the point that I am eager to get started, so once I figure out the upper level I'll be off to the races.
