Hmm.  Ok then, I want it enough set in stone that we can start building
usefully.  I want to know how much room we've got for town (container

I really want to be able to just plunk down the buildings et al where
they're supposed to go.  I don't want to still be planning things 4

Yes and no.  I definitely want the mountain down, but I'd also really like a
solid setting for the town.  We can build some things before knowing what
space we've got, but a lot of stuff is going to have to wait - it's hard to
build something without knowing how much room you've got to build it in!

The container yard & Octan yard I'm less worried about - they've got less
buildings, so are more flexible.

Also - John & Michel (and everyone else, I guess) - can you either bring
what road plates you have, or have a list of them?  That will make life
easier too.
