Hmm. I'll confess I have a *really* hard time judging how elevations and so
forth look from a 2D overhead.
That being said, I think I'd prefer if the elevation changes were limited to
what we need to have for the terrain. I realize that we're dealing in a
certain amount of unreality, but to me train tracks getting elevated when they
don't need to be just looks off.
..now if we had varying table heights, that would be different!
:)
As an aside, Brickshelf now serves .tdl files with their own MIME assignment,
so anyone with track designer can view them.
If I could start being included on the loop when .tdl files get mailed around,
then I can play too. :) Things are settling down to a routine, again.
