That's a neat idea too, however it doesn't leave much room for
buildings, and it will require everyone to rebuild their modules. I was
trying to remain with the standard module layout with the track to the
outside. This way anyone with already prepared modules could still drop
them in place.
On the other hand the center track idea would give me an excuse to
rebuild my train station in the way I originally envisioned it. So I'm
not against this if others are willing to rework their modules.
Jeff VW can you make your damn work with this kind of layout?

We could have one loop of the figure 8 be the integrated core design,
and the other loop be for the add on people. I know some people are
planing to build fewer modules then before. If possible they could
bring empty modules and track to fill in the gaps as needed in the
secondary loop of the 8.

I like this. I'd like to incorporate my monorail into the layout too.
A more integrated design would make this easier to do.
