I'm in agreement with you here--though I think Chris and Amy have some
terrific large buildings that should definitely be part of the display.

I also agree with you that we shouldn't spend space on stock TLC
buildings--maybe a couple that really stand out. The way we worked the
airport shuttle station in, for instance (although since it was an
afterthought it wasn't visible enough), in January.

No, I'm talking about the general principle here, not the specific layout.
I haven't been involved enough in the layout to know who's getting what
space. You're welcome to use your space as you wish and I don't think
anyone wants to take it away from you--but on the other hand I wouldn't want
to take/reduce someone else's space away for a GoB or other non-member's
building--no matter how superb.
