Yay!

   So basically there are 2-3 modules for stuff--on each side of the lift bridge.

The module attaching to the ‘old portion’ probably just needs to be all water with a way to hold the track in place.

The water is 1 brick thick, studs to the left.

I have some small grey piers which hold the track up. I think this means I will need to start modifying my modules to have the track go out to the rest of the layout.

   THe module next to Janey’s upper loop and the train yard will more than likely need some serious landscaping to bring hte elevation down form the upper loop to the waters edge.

One of the things you and Janey (and anyone else participating) will need to do is to sit down and figure out all the elevations. Derek did ours with a simple topo map:

Each person then built “interface edges” to each other. I built mine against snapshots from Jeremy, my meetup with JeffVW we figured out at a show.
