I am back from Boston and will be able to spend a little more time on this
now. I have still not heard back from NHVRY on the size of the caboose so I
am thinking on heading out there tomorrow afternoon on my way home from
work.
Assuming the worst and we can only use one of James' tables, (8'x4'), I
threw together a layout based on a 4 1/2 x 9 1/2 baseplate area. You can
see what I did here:

I tried to make sure there were two loops and some cross over points.
James, since this is your table size, do you have a layout you like? I
tried to post the Track Designer file on the web but could not download it
reliably. If anyone wants to do another layout and use what I did as a
start, let me know and I will e-mail it to you.
Can anyone meet for lunch on Thursday? Cary and I met at the Souper Salad
near Fayetteville Road and I-40 once, it worked out pretty well.
Here is what I plan to bring:
Pretty much all of the trains I have built. I may leave a bunch of them in
the car or in a box but I will have them with me. I will bring a box of
monorail track and my Shuttle but I plan to leave the Shuttle station at
home. At this point I don't envision having the room for it. I will bring
six buildings (one of which is a Metrostation) and my small city block
(three baseplates long). I have one crossing (4539) as well. I probably
only have 24-30 pieces of straight track however I do have three pair of
points. I have most of my train track in one bucket so it is no big deal to
bring most of it with me. I will also bring some vehicles, probably around
10 or so, again, most of what I have already built and sitting around here
right now.
