David, not that this is for the Hobby Show, but you were talking about
some layout changes.  Could you TrackDesigner those changes?  Let me
know if you need a base TDL file to work from.  I can send you the
layout as it stands now.

Jeff VW, and John,  I just remembered our problem with the angled
sections of track and what we need to do to solve them.  Originally I
realized the alignment of these angled section of track would be a bit
of a problem, but it would be easy to solve if the track was not fixed
to the bridges.  Then I promptly forgot that fact and built my bridge
and you guys built your bridges with the track fixed to the bridge.

My train tracks "float" on my bridge, just like last year (figures, since the
bridge is the same).  The bridge clears 11-stud wide trains, so it can
definitely float sideways a little too, if required.... plus the bridge "floats"
on the water too, so it can be moved around as well ...

I saw some cool bridges in Columbus, Indiana yesterday.... I'll take photos next
week, and barring unforeseen wireless issues at the Holiday Inn, post them
too...  preview:

We all need to remember to modify our bridges so the track floats on the
bridge, instead of being fixed to the structure.  This is going to be
particularly difficult for me as I used the track structurally and I'll
need to make the racer track float as well.
