My design in a little desceptive when it comes to siding. I tend to spread
it around the layout so I don't have many long sidings. I also make my loop
connections a little longer than normal so that I can park trains on them.
Now if you count all the sidings and loop connections, I have 69 sections of
track. I still have less by 7 sections, but I can easily fill in the
railyard with another 11 sections.

Don't forget that Tom has increased his Main St as well. From what I
remember he's expand one baseplate to the left and right.

Tom built four. We had two extra at the last show, which just leaves us one
to build.

Definitely a good idea. I got a baseplate last time the was a 32x32 cut in
half instead of the 16x32 I brought.
