Welcome to the Gauge Josh
I presume you are talking about HO scale here. You could fold a loop back on itself which would give you multi level. If you can afford it you should add a switch or two just to make running the train a little more interesting. The base for this layout could be as simple as a door which you could get from a lumber store and a set of folding legs. Where I live that would cost around $100. There are other forms of framework which may cost a little more. With a power pack(which your brother may be able to build for you) track and a locomotive you could be spending around $300 or more depending on where you buy your stuff.
