A couple things...
First, although posting publicly is great, it shows participation and should
spur others on to participate as well, please mail me your info as requested so
I don’t lose track of it.. thanks! (BTW I added colons to your info to make it
break to separate lines)
Second we need to start working on interconnect specs.
Would people be comfortable with the expectation that they should have two main
lines at the front edge of their area (standard spacing, track centers at 8
studs and 24 studs in from the edge) and two main lines at some fixed distance
back in (different clubs may be different distances in total depth)
Or should the back side be run back on non club layouts as a connector? That is,
long narrow sliver or donutish? we only have 12 feet of width so the back side
is not a good place to put club layouts, hard to see. If this is not clear I can
post a trial TDL somewhere to show what I am getting at.
Thirdly (Ok, more than 2) although everyone knows that 6 wide is clearly
superior, it would probably be a very good thing if your main lines are 8 wide
compatible, meaning they should be able to handle cars that are 50+ studs long
and 10 studs (with stickouts) wide, including around curves if you have any, and
clearing turnouts, if you have any, in the main line.
Fourthly, we may want to take detailed layout discussions to another group, but
which group? Not sure. Let’s stick here for now?
