Looks like a plan to me. Do you want me to work on some track plans, or
have you already got a good idea of the layout?
It would be very cool if the town area doesn't need to have 4 tracks in
front of it... it doesn't seem like much, but that extra 1/2 baseplate makes
a significant difference with the ideas I was playing around with last night.
In fact, if you tell me where the town is, and give me the number tracks
coming in (and which ones have to loop back to themselves), that would give
me the most flexability on street planning.
Thanks,
James
