[quote user="cascadenorthernrr"] That is a brilliant suggestion. But I would prefer a 4x8 for each feature. (8x8 for the spiral tunnels.) <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] I dont think that it is. The suggested 15" and 18" radius will not work with that T1 that you have.  The minimum radius is 22" which is the maximum turnback that will fit on a 4x8.  I would not attempt to run a T1 on a 4x8.  The chances of it ending up on the floor are high, based on the long rigid frame and the necessary tightness of the curves.  Horshoe curve looks like a bowl.  You can google maps/earth it.  How do you plan to transition from Appalacian mountains to high desert?  I will also comment that knowing whats in the book will prevent you from making mistakes that other people did.    Mountain scenery does not stack well.  The mountains can be made removable.
