Yes, absolutely!

JeffE was going to use the spacer if no one else was going to. If we remove
the spacer, then a two long module fits perfectly on the right side between
me and JeffVW, if you remove Dave and relocate him to offside the track
(which is what he wanted to begin with) I
Dave Koudys originally wanted to hang off a mainline of track, so he can
poke his yard out of part of my layout or yours.
If JeffE wants the spacer, then, we can still place you on the right side,
and just add a second spacer.
A station in a hill sounds great already!

Yes, this is right-15 blocks from the top of the baseplate to the bottom of
the structure. 10 dots wide clearance.

I should be okay with my section, I still have a factory to build, so I can
put it further in. I'm not sure if JeffVW will have a problem either. But
it's a question of whether JeffE can handle it inside the mountain. I don't
envy opening up and modifying the inside if it won't fit. Jeff, can you let
us know?
> Well now I must continue building like a mad man.
Oh, I know this feeling well. But unlike Technic, if you don't finish, you
can always place a little construction crew around it and say it's being
built! :)
As silly idea, I'm thinking of videotaping myself building part of my
layout, then speeding up the footage to music. The problem is the only
camera I have here is a Digital8 which only uses 60 minute tape loads.
