That's what I was wondering. I notice James and Chris were silent
about being able to make a 60" x 60" mountain with four tunnels,
one of them with a spiral chamber, and all of them curved. 8-)
With enough time and bricks it would be "doable", but I realize
it's quite the challenge.

Equivalent of 18 squares? <does quick count/check> Are you saying then
that the large tables are doubled in area and not doubled in dimensions?
ie. Small 30x30 and large 30x60, rather than small 30x30 and large 60x60?
<surfs over to PNLTC> Doh! They ARE only half as large as I thought.
<recounts layouts> OK, then that would make JamesV2 6 large and 6 small,
JamesV3 [ http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=18298 ] 7 large
and 7 small, and Oct25 6 large and 7 small. Nuts - I was so looking forward
to a 185 sq ft layout. Oh well, back to the track drawing board. Are we
designing for six of each or seven of each?

| Hello Steve, It is looking promising, not sure about the practicality of such a large mountain! The other major problem, is that as currently drawn, it takes one more small 30.5x30.5 table than I currently have! I only have the equivalent of 18 (...)
