Alright, here it is with some "terrain" filled in.

The lower right is the town, the upper left is a monorail station.
Here's a closeup of the mountain and switching yard.

You'll notice that the mountain has three parallel tracks entering
from "the west", along with a two-section high monorail track.  The

For any non-NALugers, the top section is a double-tracked with
monorail 60" arch bridge which I will make - assuming I can get
the beams...  Let-er rip with the feedback - good, bad, etc.

(...) OK - I did up one based on what I think the table layout was... (URL) I didn't know how to indicate the mountain, but the top right corner (all 61" x 61" of it) is mountain. The mountain has multiple peaks and valleys, so that the monorail (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
