"Moebius Loop" on Portabe track

My own portable "lawn track" is about 500 ft long. With two "semi-automatic" switches, I can run the entire track twice without passing the same spot twice in the same direction.

The steepest grade is 8%, so the engine really has to work!

The video is annotated, so if you have annotations witched off, you might consider enabling them.

A drawing of the track plan can be seen here:

Cool. It's not a Möbius Loop though or the train would be running upside down throughout parts of the track since the track would have no top or bottom.

You are, of course correct. However, the automatic switches allow you to run two circuits of the track without passing the same sections twice in the same direction - so it's "kind'a" like a Moebius loop, right? ;-)
