Ok, let's add the second track we've filmed

We've tried something similar to what I've seen elsewhere on YT, and I did a test build a week earlier, although smaller scale. This went through a couple of iterations where I've repositioned the top level and extended the bridges.

This was also after we bought another box of spares and trains back in January. A more targeted purchase and therefore more expensive than ma FB bargain hunts

   

Out first double-raisers, NEX train which I wanted for a while (I then had another one in a FB lot), JR 313 with sounds and the series 300 Shinkansen - the fastest running train that we own so far.

The idea here was to have as many separate running tracks so we can run as many trains without managing them as possible. Still, levels 3 and 4 were joined together to try some transitions and added an underground station if we need to delay one of the trains. 

Multi-level loop. Bridges, tunnels, and an underground station

1st Level - Yamanote E231-500
2nd Level - JR West Shinkansen 300-3000
3rd and 4th Level - JR East NEX (Narita Express) - two trains running
5th Level - JR Tokai 313 series


Maybe not as interesting build as the large layouts, but it was a nice compact design, still quite busy, so it was fun and left us enough space in the room to play with other toys.
