I haven't got round to drawing up a proper trackplan yet but these are the track diagrams used on the layout control panels. The lines shown in BOLD are visible whilst the FAINT lines are hidden from view. The different colours are the individually switched isolating sections.
The first diagram shows the terminus station (Engelboden). This is the highest point on the layout (except for the mountains ) and is 9" higher than the lower station.

After Engelboden there is a level section to a small country station (as yet unnamed) before the line starts to descend at a gradient of about 1 in 36 through a series of tunnels and tight curves.

The line eventually reaches the lower board where the valley station (Primelbach) is situated.

After passing through Primelbach trains can either enter the hidden storage sidings or be routed around the reversing loop ready to climb back up to the higher level. There is also a continuous loop on the lower level that can be used for testing or just watching the trains go by.
