How about *if* (when?) there is another "Great Create" at the Metrodome in
Minneapolis? We could try to get together enough track to make one circuit
around the upper concourse of the stadium, that's about a half-mile. Let's
see, 2600 feet would mean approximately 800 boxes of straight track, and at
least 25 speed regulators. I've got 45 boxes of straight track at home, who
else can bring some? <grin>
And the best part, we could probably do the entire thing with just straight
track, so we could run trains at full speed. John Neal could even run some of
his 10-wide locomotives... ;-)
