Steve, looking at the actual trackplan, I dont see anywhere that the inner and outer loops are joined except through staging, and that connection is 'forced' (ie trains MUST enter staging on the inner, and MUST rejoin the outer) without the ability to crossover anywhere else.. Other than that, this is probably one of the better designs I;ve seen in regards to something you can set a fairly accurate completion date too! Not over ambitious, but certainly interesting enough to keep you going for a long time.
