I took some time last night to give myself some geometry lessons. The results
are pleasing. I can be a tad more flexible because it just so happens that each
bay is 16 wide at the start of the track that leads into the bay (16x (x)

curves between the sections in the back, while the building itself has not even
been considered it almost will make itself. (I Hope) .  Well here it is, its
gonna have 11 bays! The other nice thing is the geometry of this circle is
nearly perfect for the spinning center of track.
