(...) It doesn't matter to me... this is a "rough" layout on my "mod": (URL) sure you can squeeze a switch there...and a "impromptu rail yard also" I'm not at all fussy. Ben (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) My module is mostly full now, though I could throw in a switch to go onto Ben's Mod. It's up to Ben, then, to see if he wants to throw a rail yard on his mod or not. No worries eitehr way.

I kinda thought we'd put on new trains by setting them at the top of the ramp and letting them zip down on their own.
