(...) to (...) Hear Hear! Well said. The mountain in the above linked image is way too ambitious. Something smaller, positioned toward the inside of the table sloping down and outward, would be much more appropriate. One, maybe two tunneled tracks, (...)

(...) No comment on the mountain or bridge! I like this design, although I share concerns about both the mountain and the bridge. Some suggestions for it, however: - have the big siding on the outer loop (at the bottom) join back on to the main line (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

Whoa. Hold on a minute. I'm assuming that I'm 'Adam in Calgary' right? Did I just get volunteered for something? I had replied on the mailing list ( I think ) that I didn't want to commit to anything, as I can't make plans one week ahead, never mind (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
