In this picture, you can see how I have planned out the track, this of course, is a rough draft.

In this image, you can see that I have color coded the height of the track, as well as the bridges.
 
When color coding make sure that the colors never coincide to meaning, ore meaning coincide to color. Ex. (Brown meaning bridge and road at the same time).
 
 
 

Scenery

This is where the blue comes to play. This blue signifies that there is a river. I would higly suggest that you color code your scenery to a specific color(s).
 
 
 

Walls and Tunnels

Here you can see that the lavender signifies the walls, and that the green means the entrance to the tunnel, and red means the end of a tunnel. You will also notice that I moved the river a bit to the right.
 
 
 

Conveying your future thoughts

when designing a layout you should write down on a sticky note in sections what each color means:
 
 
Height & Tracks
 
——————
 
Black = high
 
White = low
 
 
Scenery
 
—————–
 
Blue = river(s)
 
Green – tree(s)
 
Purple = Rocks
 
Lavender = Walls
 
 
Track
 
———–
 
Brown = Bridge(s)
 
Green = Start of tunnel(s)
 
Red = End of tunnel(s)
 
 
You can also leave “notes” in map:
