It's pretty much a stock Atlas N-18 layout. I made some changes to the yard design to better fit the modeling I want to do, but the rest of it is as they described. There's a double-tracked oval on the outside that can run two trains with no problem. In the center is a double-tracked figure eight, so only one train can run unattended there. Two can run fine so long as they're watched closely (learned that the hard way!). There's two sidings on the upper level, the figure eight, and two on the lower plus the yard on the lower. The two interchanges shift from the upper level, the figure eight, back to the lower oval on the outside. <br />From what you're saying it sounds like five power districts. I'm thinking of wiring up a control boad to mount under the layout and using terminal strips to join in the connections. so that the board is removable and all the wiring stays relatively neat. Wish I'd done that when I did the DC wiring!
