I wasn't thinking of a modular approach, just of planning ahead as to how we
could best use the given floor (table?!) area in order to have numerous trains
running at any one time.
Anyway, 50x50 are HTF now. 48x48 are common, but don't fit in with Town
roadways etc, and standard Town 32x32 plates are only big enough for two
straights!
