So anyone that wants to work on a layout design feel free as long as
you keep our major attractions intact.

I've created an intitial design for your viewing pleasure.

Well this is actually pretty close to what I have come up with.  (Although I
didn't include as much detail in Terms of MOC's)

There are parts of both I like and parts of both that I think need work.  I
like the lowered section on the side in Jonathans where it is still on an end
in my version.  I think Jonathan's version lacks in siding capacity although I
do like the sidings near the edge of the layout.

One thing I am going to work on in my version is I want to connect the two
inner loops so that we can choose between 2 or 3 trains running at the same
time on the fly.  I just don't know if I can do that and keep my section of
Main Street where it is.

I also want to make sure I know how many tables we have.  I think its 15
currently.  10 I made, 2 Tom made, and 3 Chris made.

Finally I think NELUG should start investing in some 16x32 baseplates.  NELUG
has plenty of cash and I would rather not rely on members bringing their own
especially when we will be requiring so many.  I will start pricing them out
and see what we can do.
