A shared local loop sounds good to us at LUCNY. I have asked MSLTC to supervise
and operate the LUCNY layout for us since all our members will be busy on the
Third floor nearly the whole weekend.
LUCNY layouts are never planned -- we set up as we go, so we can do whatever
works. We have an assortment of modifed points, curves, and straights, so we
can make just about ANY configuration work well.

We may not need to expand our area--it all depends upon how much stuff I cram
into my vehicle. If LUCNY goes deeper, GFLTC will have more difficulty accesing
their space from the rear.
But LUCNY's two additional tables will be on-site and can be used anywhere if we
don't need them. Unless the void space by tables 11, 12, 13 is intended, our
extra tables could go there for individuals to place MOC's since I don't see too
much other space for that to happen.

Agreed. I am sure we can work together to make this work.

| (...) Great. Here's probably the final space plan: (URL) here's a tentative trial layout TDL. (URL) is still in flux but does show a local loop in the MSLTC/LUCNY area as well as both mains running through, and enough straights on the bridge (...)
