I'd take a second look at that 45degree crossing.  I was willing to cut
up two straights to make a new crossing but I wouldn't take four switchs
to pieces. :-)

To use the crossing I built the tracks must be separated 32 studs on center.


In this rendition, the train yard's there, Jeff's docking area (upsidown) is
there, Calum's Train Station and Cargo dock is there, and the Van WinDAM is
there.

(there may even be room for my firestation ;) )

It's sitting at 4 mods by 5 mods right now--I'm willing to go 5x5 to have the
room in the center.

I have no idea what Derek and Jeremy want to do for the next layout.  As well,
if anyone else wants to add stuff, jet us know!  We have a few months!



For the big new spring 2004 layout,  I really don't want to be think
about it untill about a month after brickfest.  I think the designs we
were talking about at dinner after NMRA were cool.  I'd like to see us
come up with several different layout ideas then decide on one of them.

The Hobby show layout I'm not interested in participating in a big way.
I'd be willing to provide some buildings to fill out a module and maybe
some rolling stock.

(...) I liked the ideas with the large lake and bridges. (...) I suspect our strategy for Hobby Show should be a relatively small and flat layout. We'll divide modules by land again, realestate style, but it'll be mostly existing buildings. This (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
