Well there are parts I like of this and parts I don't (as always).
First we loose one entire table with this design. I would really like to
maximize our space as much as possible. Second, as you point out, there is a
lack of siding space in general. Third, and least important, is there isn't
the option of two larger loops instead of 3 loops. That's not important
because I think we will be running 3 trains anyway.
I do like the size of the 2 inner loops, I also like the location of my Main
street sections.

Well I don't think we need to make a definitive decision at the September
meeting. I think we should probably make some basic decisions and maybe choose
a basic design but we should leave some things open for change for a while. I
know with my design that there is still one road plate that has a small part of
a curved piece of track on it and I would like to think about that more as well
as a couple of other tweaks.
