(...) The town can be as solid as you want it - I was intending to leave that section pretty much up to you. ie. There's tracks entering it here and here, which should loop back to here and here and the overall dimensions should be this by that. (6' (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) Agreed - I think we can get solid enough. The main thing is what mountain configuration to use (so it can be built) right? That part at least we should be able to put in stone.
