I kinda thought we'd put on new trains by setting them at the top of the
ramp and letting them zip down on their own. It's called *rolling*
stock, right? :D
By all means, add a rail yard if you have the time and energy. Right
now, I *think* Jeff VW has a couple of spare slightly-offsize modules
kindly donated by Matthias. But we'll have to check with him first.
Will you be bringing the track for your modules?

I managed to get another building done yesterday - a little trattoria in
one of the awkward curved lots.

The angles of these buildings are kind of interesting. The larger one
is set on the corners of a 5-12-13 right triangle, so it's rotated about
23 degrees relative to the plate. The smaller building is on a 3-4-5
right triangle, so it's turned about 37 degrees from true. (Using the
right triangles enabled me to still pin the building to the plates at
multiple points.) As it turns out, that places the walls of the two
buildings about 7.91 studs apart right where I was putting the gate,
meaning it was easy to squeeze in an 8-long arched gateway into the
patio area.
I hope no one is going to try running anything larger than the club car
up there, because that's what the clearance is set for...
Anyway, I'm really, really running out of time now, so I expect most of
the rest of the buildings to be more filler-like.
