I don't really mind this myself, because it will make it "easier" to fill
up the space on the modules.

Yeah, it depends on whether you have a lot to bring or just starting out
with a little.  Don't feel obligated to build a corner, I suspect I'll end
up building two, and JeffVW seems to be planning to take up a corner in his
proposed layout.

I will have 3 sets of track for my module layout....two sets to connect to
the other modules for the circuits....and one "independant" set for my
urban transit system / (L)ight (R)ail (T)ransit .... hopefully by
August... I'll have 2 units for it, and probably 2 to 3 "stations / stops"

Cool!  Will it be Monorail?

Also, If <I> do indeed volunteer to be a "corner", I want my modules side by
side...that is it will be 60 by 60 square (or 36 base-plate square)...
...and I also don't want to connect my town to a "hiway" connecting it
to other "towns"....I think the passenger trains are supposed to allow
passengers to "commute" to other cities.

You mean you want four modules together?  That's a lot of module :)  As long
as you connect in on the two tracks, it shouldn't be hard to have you poking
out on the side or bottom with quad modules.

I think there will be a "main inter-section" with a main street, and a
secondary street.  The main street will likely have most of the commerical
buildings in town, and the branch street(s) will have residential on
one side, and the soccer stadium on the other... with the train yard /
train station near the main lines of rail, and with probably (4)
LRT stops around town.

Get building! :)  Can't wait to see all the good stuff people are planning!
