The lower level is visible only on one side (front) and one end. The far (back) side will have profile boards mostly up at the upper level. The other end will have the transition from lower to upper levels including the curved turnout leading to an extension for yard and industry.
My goal is to get enough scenery above the upper level track to justify a tunnel for the reverse loop yet sloping enough to display the lower track.
The following pictures show the mockups of tunnel portals and underpass.

Marv will have three more turnouts and connecting track to install and wire before we can get into scenery. Some of this had to be removed to accommodate the track crew, but I now have some documentation to remind me in the future. Another two weeks and we should be able to run trains on all the main line, top and bottom. The fun begins!
