Hey, I see SIZE doesn't matter! 
That is, the Lionel O27 around the outside! My father-in-law did the same thing. It's good to see someone doing what he wants to do, not what he's supposed to do.

I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

| When my father and I plus the kids start to redo it,we want to add the N scale also,so its a family project which im happy for. When we go to the train shows the kids always go and pick out things which they would like to add to the layout. I ll get a track plan drawn up before we tear it down and a new one of what we would like to do also.

does look good
IF I ever do my layout I'm gonna use a Lionel truss bridge for my HO tracks
Ok it will look odd on a HO layout but who says we needs to be EXACT??

I just saw one the other week at my local shop. Your idea did cross my mind when I expand the layout as to how to add the bridge.

Jerry got me one of those Lionel bridges with LIONEL on it
If you're gonna use it as a double track only sent one train at a time or they may touch & derail each other
