You are right, the switching yard stinks. But we can't fit 6 tracks AND have
room for structures or a storage yard, in 30.5 inch width. Maybe moving the
switching yard to the right side and the mountain and elevator to the bottom
would be best.
More tables is always an option, but would require two vans or two trips to
transport. This might be circumvented by the fact that a friend from St Paul
has offered to lend me his trailer for our next show! (I haven't looked at it
yet to see if it would work.) As well I have no interest in making more tables,
I still have to make and paint the legs for a layout this size.
John, the file is on your way.
