...the question of the week is if the group (Derek/JeffVW/Jeremy)

if you want me
to put in a big hole for a bridge connection for JohnG.

I think I need to know a little more about what you are doing to know
how to run the track for John's bridge.

Then again, I guess it doesn't matter.  If you can configure the
track work so it can work as a closed loop on our layout, then can be
easily converted to open up to John's bridge and the other layout, I
say go for it.  I doesn't need to use switches.  We just need to be
able to lay the track one way or the other.

If it's not going to compromise your vision for your area too much,
then I think it's a good idea.

I don't honestly have a vision for my area right now, so it can't be any worse
:)

I also don't have any idea as to how to run out to John's bridge or another
layout, I'm asking for someone to tell me what the track layout should be in
that corner to link out to another layout.  I'm asking someone else to do it as
I don't know the layout geometry particularly well.  So, whoever has the train7
layout file (I suspect it's you Derek)...could you generate a few possibilities
for how to run it (switch, two tracks out, etc)

I've only got two firm ideas in mind for train7:  I want to continue Jeff's
excellent black arch and pipework layout on the "south" back wall.  And I want
to do something with canals, but I need to draw up some concepts to ask Jeff if
he wants to participate.
