Here is a proposal for a 20x32 layout with a hollow center, the center area • is
7.5x16.  The open area on the end is 30" and would be a nice place to put a • few
bridges. Each rectangular area = 1 table.

I believe we had some issues with depth of the layout at the January GATS.
It looks like you are suggesting 3 tables deep, and I am wondering if that
will give rise to some of the same issues or not. What do folks think?

It may be better to have a narrower layout with more space in the center for
a work area even if we don't use the whole space 100% (off by 2 feet in one
dimension or whatever...

Do we have an exact table dimension? 2.5' by 8' ??

I think if we keep the train yard at 2 tables deep that will allow us easy
acces to the switches, etc.  I also think that we could use areas at 3 tables
wide for the airport and town.  Thats what I was thinking with that proposal.
Comments anyone?

(...) Kinda what i was thinking.I wasn't sure until you just posted how big you train yard was and how many tables you would need.I think a mix if we can would work. (23 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
