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.

Great. Here's probably the final space plan:

and here's a tentative trial layout TDL.

This 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 approach on
both sides that we SHOULD be in good shape there. This is not how you would HAVE
to do your track, just one possible arrangement. By use of crossovers, LUCNY
does a jog to accomodate the table jog at the LUCNY/GFLTC boundary too.

The GFLTC trackage may not yet adequately have sensor arrangement allowances.
I'm not sure yet. Robin?

Note that MichLTC plates are a mess, we are trying to preserve blocks under some
track rearrangement. I may post another revision of that if I need to. We have a
lot of smaller plates so we can get it all to work. We also  (gasp) have some
sliced in half road plates so we can do half length roads.

NGLTC: I shifted your track a bit to allow for a crossover on the approach to
the main yard throat so both tracks can get access to the storage yard (which I
sketched in one end of, but didn't detail the other end to any degree)

Remember, bring extra track, everyone! The storage yards will not be completed
if we don't have enough track.
