Pretty good, Derek. I'd offer the following mod to it:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=210623
It uses one fewer modules, but eliminates the need for the odd one.
It also leaves room on either side of the track for switchyards, etc.
I'd been fiddling around with the idea of making a layout for the next
event, but my plan was to make a small, convoluted "core", and have
people who were absolutely sure to make it build and bring those
modules. Then there'd be an 'extension loop' and possibly a yard area,
where anyone else who wished to come could insert their module.
This would allow us to make some pretty funky layouts, with room for
whatever crazy buildings or features the core builder wanted.
It requires a certain amount of organization and collaboration to set
up. What do folks think?
