My HO Layout NYC Passenger Train and AA Freight Train

My New York Central Passenger Train

My Ann Arbor Freight Train

My Expanded N Scale Layout

I am almost ready to build the tables to put the layout on. I will need to build 3 or 4 4X8 tables where I can set up the track. I will have 2 loops in the configuration shown above. One loop will fit inside the other. On the inner loop I will run a Canadian Pacific Freight Train. On the outer loop I will run a Canadian National Freight Train. I still need to buy the balance of the track that I need, I have most of it already. I am thinking I am still about 2 years away from completing the tables and track.
