Ok, no one seemed to balk at the last design, so lets go a little further.
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/derek/miscellaneous/hightown3.gif
First off we are still in cloud talk phase, we shouldn't think of
anything as set. We should have a big jam session and work out the details.
Second I know Jeff VW doesn't have nearly enough space. We can work
more to the right, or down to provide more room.
The big idea with this one is to provide a way to get to and from
Altenburg with a loop. To achieve this I added a second line parallel
to the original ramp up to Altenburg and expanded the half modules to
full modules. This would be really cool, because it gives a giant loop
that a train could take up to Altenburg, back down and around the
bottom. Now not all trains could handle this but it would be a lot of
fun for those that could. Its always nice to set a train and just let
it run. This would give a nice long run.
I added Jeff E to one half of Altenburg, not because he definitely
wanted to do that, but because I know he has enough bricks to build it.
I added myself to the other half because I'd like to build that bit,
but I don't necessarily have to. Also the base of Altenburg can be
build by one person, but we could divide up buildings on top to
different people.
The biggest problem with this is finding someone to build the ramp
sections. Now a friend here at work, who never wanted to get involved
with rtlToronto before, was looking at the layout and thinking: "I could
build that ramp. I'd love to build that ramp."
There are a few problems though, he's not committed at this point, he
doesn't have easy access to his Lego, he doesn't have any module bases
and has no means to make them. However he is really disparate to build
something out of Lego. He's hardly been able to touch it since he moved
in with his girlfriend.
So at this stage if there was someone that wanted to commit to the ramp
that would be really cool. Although it would be neat to suck this guy
into the group. :-)
