Regarding it...

I like the variety of track.  Looks like lots of room for town in the top right,
and industry in the top left?

About the only thing I don't like is no train yard... Maybe kick the mountain
higher on the layout, and run a short ladder off the outside track?

I think our layout would benefit from having something that cars could sit on
and not be in the way... This layout looks like it could have a decent variety
of switching to keep down the "oh look.. it goes around." thing.  But not if
there's cars on all the sidings.

I'd like to get more of our rolling stock (ok, ok - Michel's rolling stock) on
the table instead of under it.

Thanks James, see (URL) for the description that goes with the layout. You are right about the industries and town areas. Se other posts about the train yard, will have to be redrawn in a different location. I tried to fit as many sidings as (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
