Thanks for your complement of study 4.
That was really one of those "What can I do with just (blank)." ideas. I
could use any color as long as it was light gray and any sizes of brick as
long as they were 1x2 and 2x4. Those were the only prerequisites and
(forced myself) to stick to them (almost used 2x2s).
I was looking back at study 2:

And that followed much the same line of prerequisites and diagonal feature
but it was a bit "funky". Fun, but more of an "I don't know? Aw heck, it's
Summer!" idea. So, as a tune up, I came up with an easier to follow (and
look at) symmetry. Keeping most 1x2 use wedged between the 2x4s and just a
few resting along the edges as a "cleaning up".

I'll admit, laying down track was a thought but in the end I'm glad I
didn't. Besides, I would have broken prereq #1 (9v tracks are DARK gray).
