A problem with hills...

How about multiple switchbacks? Run a track at a grade thru a wye turnout to a stub (long enough for a complete train) end, throw the turnout and back the train again up grade thru another wye turnout on another stub end track. Repeat as needed to gain elevation. Many logging and mining roads used this to gain elevation without miles of continous running over land that may not be practical. Portions of these switchbacks could be directly above another track with occasional bridges and tunnels to minimize long runs of hidden track. Best of luck with your design, I can really relate to very limited space.
