(...) I'm hoping not...I am planning on having an "independant" 3rd line around the town for the mass transit system for it. (though I could also adapt it for the 3rd "Global" circuit / loop / line / whatever you want to call it.) Benjamin Medinets (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Don't feel obligated to build a corner, I suspect I'll end up building two, and JeffVW seems to be planning to take up a corner in his proposed layout. (...)
