middle are another possibility for more interest.  The holding tracks
are a little yard idea.

If anyone would like to see it, I can email it to you.

(...) Yes. I don't know how large exactly (or how small...). I used to have a setup like this in my bedroom. Remember what it says on Matts page, that the lego track doesn't have to exactly line up for it to work. The larger the loop, the bigger the (...) (25 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.trains)
