I know how this is sometimes...I don't see why there can't be a little bit
a room off to the side for all the train/town buffs ("townie" as I call
myself....)

I like this idea about the linking of towns...the track will definitely have
to be colour-coded to represent who owns what...that shouldn't be too
hard, just go to the stationary store...that should work that problem...
I have the latest passenger train station (the juniorized station) and the
freight-loading station (4555, thank goodness!!)...hopefully I'll be able
to buy at least one Hauler train set, and maybe the Freight n Crane railway
to complete the 9V train sets...as far as the buildings go...most of
my mine are in the original boxes (well the last year or so - since living
here in Kentucky), the other "half" of my collection, is in a large
laundry hamper, 90% is mixed in bags.
I'll probably bring most of the newer sets I've gotten, the shell
select shop, a possible mcdonald's restaurant MOC, the gas n go express,
maybe the robber's retreat for an interesting part of the landscape.
Probably 6386 police command base, and the Firefighter's HQ or the
Flame Fighters??? Definitely a 6566 Bank, and possibly a quickly designed
house or two to add to the robber's retreat. And ofcourse a couple (may be
a few) of road plates to make it half-decent.
