Transbay Interwoven Layout

Doug wants to hear reader recommendations on building a layout his Grandchildren can enjoy:

“Perhaps someone can advise me on the following. I am looking atbuilding the Transbay Interwoven ( Atlas 7X7 step#13) but I cannot findanywhere a plan showing scenery or finished layout to give me finalperspective.

This is my first attempt at building, we had one as kids and now I wantto do this with my Grandchildren, or is there a better layout your readers can recommend that will give two trains agood run and rise through mountains and over rivers etc. Thank you so much for offering this service.”

About the Transbay Interwoven Layout:

Features one train passing over another. The Transbay Interwoven does this by using elevated track provided by the Atlas pier Set. A minimum table size of 6′ x 10′ is needed to construct the Transbay Interwoven with track around 79 feet.

    i saw comment here about the Transbay interwoven layout from atlas. I am just now in the progress of building this layout. Did you go ahead with this layout? If so how did you wire the two reversing loops in this layout? I am having an issue with my Locomotive stoopping and shorting out at one double insulated area causing my AR1 unit and my NCE controller to shut down…any ideas if you have worked on this layout would be appreciated

    Thanks
