This is like what WAMALTC did at the last Greenburg show... http://www.peeron.com/pics/Greenberg092000/thumbnails/sub.jpg.html http://www.peeron.com/pics/Greenberg092000/thumbnails/setup.jpg.html ...which I think would be a cool idea to shamelessly steal. :) Then we could do some "half buildings" like the train station at GFLTC's last show... http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=16453 ...which would also be neat to shamelessly steal :) James

Lifting the city portion is a neat idea, but I couldn't help but notice that the WAMALTC (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

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 (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
