It'll never float.  Good start tho....but make it a continuous line. You will not have to chase after it!

Great. I run some live steam and I would agree if you can make it continuous you'll be glad!

Just because it says live steam, doesn't mean you have to barbecue it

Why is the first thing people say when they see the tray why are you cooking it.....
As much as I'd love to make it a Roundy Roundy, I don't have the money too and my parents don't want it to be noticeable. I don't mind running after it as I've had no problems so far with doing that. My only problem is it would be R1 curves in and around the station areas due to said lack of cash to afford larger curves/points for the whole line.
I'll have to talk to the landlords (parentals) and if they say yes to allowing such a line to be first designed then built.

Some how I'd incorporate baloon loops at each end..... using stealth or if necessary deception....

Instead of a cont. loop around the yard, why not use your current track plan but at the upper right corner instead of a passing siding put a reversing loop there creating an out and back layout. That way you don't have to run after it to stop it crashing off the end of track.
 Have fun with your trains

Difficult to fault it Jon old boy, but I dunno, it lacks a certain je ne sais quoi as that once great French statesman Jacques Clouseau would have said

With that loco, I would say a very bold and ambitious first attempt!!!!!!!
like many others here, I thought I was at the cutting edge with a Stainz!!!!!
Would not have had the bottle to start with live steam.
