   Hello!

I have decided to add a 16’(or possibly 18’) x 2’ section to my current layout.

This is exciting news, Jonathan, and reminds me of how the TCLTC layout got started-- section by section.

I have only one suggestion to throw out to you for consideration-- how about building up 17 1/3 studs and putting in a ping-ponging subway with 2 stations underneath?

We can talk about this in Detroit, because we are going to be doing almost the same thing.

In any event, congratulations! I’m sure everyone will look forward to updates on your progress!
