I don't mind taking up the other corner...that is if necessary...if <I> don't
have to be stuck in the other corner, then I'll welcome a hiway link to my
city....

Mmmm...I'm going to keep that a secret....we'll see what comes up in the

Ok, My mom told me about a finished board 60 X 30 inches....about the approx.
dimensions of a "standard" module....I was planning on buying two, and
putting them side by side for my layout...that is only (4) "half-sized"
modules...and hopefully I'll have help this time around....
....and I'll need one giant "module" if I want to make the town as realistic
as possible especially with the mass transit line around it...and the stadium
in the town.
