We are? Iain wrote me about this because the PNLTC spec calls for them
specific intervals. I'm not happy with the intervals they call for, because
they don't play nice with roadplates-the cut right over where the road is.
I've built two modules, third half done (frickin cordless saw ran out of
juice during a cut!) and integrated (transfered to the module and
reorganized to fit the surface) my first two modules with half of my
Saraville layout. Here's what I found:
-going at 36 in, for the center of the track, fits better with Town layouts.
-It's hard to put a track at the edge of a roadplate.
-Trains are tall compared to buildings.
-the corners are gonna be trouble.
My layout is:
-2 30x30 modules for Saraville Town layout (Built, Integrated 6/2)
-2 30x30 modules for Dockyard/Cranes/Warehouse layout (Built, Waiting for
Module Integration)
-2 30x30 modules for Switchyard (Planned)
-1 30x30 module for corner curve (Planned)
The latter two will not be hard, since they're mostly just bare with some
trees. These modules would fill out one end of a layout. The other thing I
wanted to ask was if anyone was going to build three other corners...

Are you doing a switching yard? Because I was going to put one together
but...anyways, I'll be uploading a few layout drawings very soon. TD is
very useful, but not completely featured-it's missing 48x48 baseplates and
