(...) Ok. I can't do the giant mountain. ;] Well... I probably could, but I'm dubious about transportation issues and modularity and access. 61 inches across won't fit in a van, or through a door, so it has to come apart at least once, which makes (...)

OK - Here's an update using 7 large and 7 small. (URL) has all the things we're after, plus it has a feature that till now we have been missing - a section that reverses the trains! The trains stop in front of the station, so that segment switching (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) That's what I was wondering. I notice James and Chris were silent about being able to make a 60" x 60" mountain with four tunnels, one of them with a spiral chamber, and all of them curved. 8-) With enough time and bricks it would be "doable", (...)
