Interesting. Not much, but its a start. If you don't mind, here's some advice. don't support it until after the trackwork is done to avoid having to redo supports etc. also, unless you're making the flanges by hand, don't flange the supports until after you finish all of them. I look forward to seeing how this progresses.

Keep in mind the typical B&M pre-drop is only 5-10 feet at the most, yours looks to be at least 20.

Your drop's shaping is off. If you look at both of the pictures above, the drops radiuses start very tight, and then they get larger untill the drop's pull-up.

Your drop's radius starts very wide and rounded.

Keep in mind this is being completed in the editor. (I'm no good with newton i couldn't even make the first turn into the lift hill you see on newton.) I will get it fixed though.

IMO, shaping is somewhat easier when handbuilding. It is just harder to get rid of all of the pumps.
