G Scale on top level, HOn3 on middle level, HO on lower level.
The G Scale circuit functions as follows;
The layout incorporates several turnout points that yeild
a balloon reversing loop, a wye and an ovoid circuit of track.
These allow flexibility in train reversing, arraying and fiddle yard 'consist' / storage.
Five complete trains can be set out on the ovoid circuit.
They can be run {simultaneously} around the circuit until the required train reaches,
the set of points that divert it to the line leading out into the back yard Garden Railway.
With all other trains removed from the circuit, one train can be run indoors if need be.
When doing train maintenance, a loco / train can be run around for testing.
Locomotives [or whole trains] can be reversed, either via balloon loop, or via the WYE.

Geof's Basement HO Scale Layout
Prior to the G Scale being installed in the Basement,
There was a larger layout arrangement in the basement Train Room.
It comprised, HO on lower level, HOn3 (HOn3 1/2) on middle level, HOn2 1/2 on upper level
There was no interchange between the 3 levels.
