Anyhow this is just to get a scale size down. I tried to make it so we can go
wider or longer.  I also included a possible place for the trolley. The plates
are just for fill in purpose.

Tell me what you think...

I was doing some thinking and what if we decided to make the layout in an
L-shape?  Still 2 tables, but it would allow for a little more control for
us...Public on one side, us (exhibitors) on another.  I just gave track
designer a whirl and came up with this:

I also got to thinking about maybe the possibility of three tables....Now I
know we wanted to start small..... but maybe it might work.  Or else we
could find we just don't have enough to fill it.

Just some ideas.  As you can see I have purposly left any sort of track
design or road layout off the design mainly becuase I have no idea on how
best to set the track layout, but also to provide just a rough sketch.

Comments, Suggestions, Additions Welcome
