I can't copy and paste the schematic, but imagine, if you will, a double figure 8 with passing
sidings on each loop of the 8 squashed into 4x8 feet. It makes for a made interchange of
three level crossings at the middle of the 8. What makes this possible is that it is British OO,
which allows for very tight radii. I have an idea to put in a compressed version of Stonehenge,
but beyond that, don't have a clue. I would have liked to slip in a via duct, but too many curves.
Any ideas?

Viaduct isn't necessarily out, they can be curved, and curved stone bridges look especially nice. You can build them using Scalescenes printable textures which should fit nicely with Brit OO:

Dense track can look nice in a city setting.

Thank you for that! Now, if I can just find the time!
