so its a great layout but i found out that there are 4 levels for this layout. Why did you show all four? Trying to remodeling this layout into Trainz and for it to be 100% as the layout is completely impossible when you leave out two very important parts of the layout. The only reason i know this cause i watched a video of the layout on youtube. MMR what are you trying to do here?
