I've updated the Layout with plates instead of the 9 volt track. Can you put
blue plates down where the water is?
Also, I think we need to rework the track. Short Circuit loops are tough. An
in person meeting would be best.
Also, I think more surface area would be best. In the large long layout we
don't really need narrow areas right. Cities can be good obstructions.
