Great. It sounds like we will be able to have a pretty extensive layout.

Also, I think we can accommodate 4.5v as part of the 12v. We can set up
some sidings without conducting rails so the 4.5v signals can be used.
We can also incorporate a loop or so which shows all the different 4.5v
components that are different from 12v components.

I think we will try and set up the big layout I posted a while ago, or
something similar, so we can play around with some operating.

Trainwise, I will be bringing the following at a minimum:

7740, 7815, 7819, 2 extra coaches, 2 red/yellow "7847" club cars (engine
and 8 cars total)
12v Beyer-Garrat plus 3 blue/red cars
Modified 727 (increased one brick in height to match 7740)
162 alternate model
164 if I get around to building it (TLC's first caboose, though they
didn't call it one)
7735
Other old train cars

I may bring my 7720 (4.5v)

(...) Tom Cook and I discussed the train rooms this past weekend. Train will get 2 rooms, since they're smaller this year. I believe the 9v layout will be in one room and the 12v right across the hall. So there would be plenty of room for a 12v (...)
