I don't think the issue is how it looks, it's more a question of "where" right
now. I'm not sure there is anywhere to spare right now.
I know DaveK and Janey were talking about a whole new section, but I'm not sure
where they are on this subject (or if they plan to be at this April gig).
(Janey?! Dave?!) It's more a question of someone volunteering space or real
estate. I think given all the hills in this layout it'd look spectactular, but
it would have to be REALLY small (like, a foot or two long).
That said, everyone really seems to like small things that move. Piles of
people asked me to turn on the Gutter Train just to see it drive around and
snake under the bridge and into the far reaches of Mt Jeremy. Something about
the fact they wanted to know where it went.
