Well, I have a few comments and some questions: Are you planning on using 1 or 2 locomotives for your ore train? How do you plan on supporting the mine scene above the red track?  What is the planned separation between the green and red track?  At a 3% grade you need 8ft of track to get 3" of clearance.  3.5" is just under 10ft, 4" is about 11.5ft and 5" is about 14ft.   For HO scale you will probably want 3" of clearance under your supports. You have possible derailment causing S curves at the following locations: TBD Industries -Feel free to use that name if you like for your industry Mine Switch- Lower right side of plan on the mine side of the switch.  Not as likely to cause problems as others. Engine Service facility Team Track-depending on the length and type of cars on the team track.  At the top of the Marquette Yard
