I'm trying to scrap the 4 train yard modules at the bottom, and put 2 train
yard modules to the side, so they're below the dock structures/water and
left of the train station.

This will add to the overall 'squareness' of the layout, which should make
Calum, and even me, happier--less protruding modules.

Nothing I do though seems to achieve good space usage on the two modules.

Thoughts, ideas?  I have no problem losing the 4 mods at the bottom--i can
keep the 'park layout' in the south west corner without it looking out of
place with a large rail yard next to it.
