Iain, it wasn't going to be any narrower than four modules wide anyways.
But, yes, you're right, it does constraint a layout to four wide. I don't
have much of a choice unless I tear up years of work. I've already spent
part of a weekend splitting my layout into modules.

I agree with Iain track should be standardized. If people go with existing
module track position, it can be pretty easy. Anyone who doesn't, like me,
will just have to fit the rest of the network appropriately at the end points.

Do it piece by piece. I've finished assembling two modules and have the
third half done. You can leave it and do a bit at a time.

I appreciate the offer, but I should be okay if I have the end cap to
myself. I'll just make sure to fit PNLTC or whatever standard is decided
on. Hence I have quickly posted out existing layout to show what I have in
case anyone wanted to match up before going out to the rest of the network.

I hope so. But actually only larger in the sense that I will have a higher
building density (I'm in process of building new several structures) and a
switch yard. (which could be dropped if someone had a better larger switchyard.
Calum
