Sorry Bryan. I said I'd post some more ideas today for the "Outdoor" area, but I just didn't allocate my time too wisely today. I'll post something ASAP. Robin (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

I've updated the building plan file with a few bits. It's on the X-Drive, Layout Files folder, name is B-K0003R.txt. Anyone with baseplates that fit as per the layout (17 or 18), download the file and fill up those baseplates. Robin (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
