I am struggling to interpret these numbers into correct measurements. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

It depends on the gradient ramps, and number of levels. The substrate isn't supporting a ton of weight, so the size and spacing of the cross beams is flexible. Many start with a flat solid base. Ramps, relief, mountains and tunnels can be built above. After you have designed the track routes using planning software, you can plan for the plastering armature for relief and hills in relation to it. Also placement of scenic features and structures.

Thanks Hallo, Not sure if you referred to the same thing but most likely it is the height of track on particular rib on multi level layout! Regards, Marklineisenbahn

I have attached an image from the plan which appeared in 06/2023 downloaded from Maerklin-magazin.de site and highlighted in red circles the numbers for which I need some clarification

That, as you suspected, would establish roadbed location. Good luck with your project. Regards Dave
