Intriguing since the standard balloon track is folded into itself resulting in a Pretzel Balloon (that's my Swiss perspective )


Google Earth view


HO track plan



BUT building it this large will require 18.75m sidings on the main to get the coal train in the clear.

Cheers

Found It -> 50° 2'23.93"N 114°50'55.73"W

I took the measurements from Google Earth and even in N scale this would be huge, about 5,5 metres by 2,2 metres with the largest radius curve at 1,1 metres.
Whats also interesting is if you go to eye level on Google Earth you can see how locked in it is by hills / mountains.
