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? You wouldn’t need to build the modules completely out of bricks
like we do (at first;-), and it would add a lot, especially to an gotham
layout like yours. 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!

Thanks, John.
Yes, I had the ping-pong scenario in mind for the surface trolley (at least) and
was going to check out how you and Ross did it at NMRA. As for the subway,
hmmm, we’ll talk more the Detroit. The wheels are turning in my head.
Thanks!
Best,
Jonathan
