Setting up Wye with a double-track mainline

The idea with a double main is to have continuous flow in both directions. That means you need to on and off both tracks. You need 2 Wye's. If I was designing it I would elevate the outside track and depress the inside track to get a 30 scale foot clearance and just go over the inside track. Using a 1% grade you need a 150 scale foot lead in for the the needed elevation changes on each track. <br /> <br />I may have to rethink Phase 2 of my layout. I think I want to try that. <br /> <br />Edit: I dropped a decimal point there. 1500 Scale feet. About 9.4 feet of N scale track.
