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.

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.
