Cool, I like your preliminary design ideas.
If you're going to go ahead with a train station, then I'm going to
dismantle mine. I don't really like it in its current state, I never
got to add any detail to it, and it's just taking up to much space in my
apartment. Grand idea, not enough time, must plan better. Besides, one
layout shouldn't be all train stations. :-)
I'm thinking I'll trying a sunken module with a train bridge and a car
bridge. If others are interested in having a monorail run through their
modules I'd add a monorail bridge as well. Note this is my monorail,
not Lego's.
