oops...sorry, I forgot all about that...well how's that going?
is it "hurry, hurry, cram, cram" ?

I just loved it how the entire lay-out on Train 1 was formed...from semi-
organization (quasi-organization, if you will) at best to something that
looked detailed at the end...almost professional looking.
I don't like programing anyway, and don't have any resources much less
too much desire to get into any kind of robotics.
Looks like you are getting a very good head-start on it.
(Quick Note to Calum: could you repost the location for the module
specs...so I can start on my module(s)? ... Thanks in advance)

I think I got enough trees for now...may be one or two additional
sets wouldn't hurt...I'll have to think about that later...
I've got some other things in mind for my layout, but I don't
want to reveal everything...I want to keep some things a surprise.

If you end up including that mass transit system (monorail) what ever...
(the parking complex/monorail station), you could call it
"Scarbrick"
As you can tell naming isn't mine either.
Today, I didn't make too much...I was working on putting together the
Neptune set, but only finished the sub...haven't started the base, yet.
Won 2 more auctions, Metro PD, and 7824 station (the one that you <Iain>
have...)
I spent most of the evening with my little sister at my computer playing
"Rollercoaster Tycoon"... I made this steel roller coaster with 5 loop-2-
loops, and a dual rotating-upward corkscrew. At the beginning of the
ride, I had to have a slight pause in the down slope because it was
causing too much g-force before the first loop, the enbanked curve and
dual loop-to-loops.
It was pretty amazing...I'll have to save it (probably one of my best
steel coasters, yet!)
