Done. Have a look here http://www.brickshelf.net/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=38021
This is just a start. I'm thinking the person running the trains is in the gap
right of centre, if there's enough room, with easy access to all points &
branch lines. Town layout is just an indication - will need tuning to what's
available, maybe have a station platform between the two loops on left or
bottom. If there's a lot of town buildings available (shanty houses??), may
need to reduce number of streets to fit them. Plenty of train loading /
unloading area - I may have gone a bit over the top on the main loop branch
line, this could be reduced to allow more operator room.
Any suggestions? I can post the TDL file if anyone wants to experiment.
