Scott and I looked at both the 2012 and the 2013 layouts. They are
both exactly the
same size and shape.
The 2012 layout has some advantages:
1. We can use Scott’s three-in-a-row scenes (Coke, barrel loader,
accessories)
2. We can use Scott’s Harry Potter scene
3. We can use Scott’s city scene
It also has a couple of disadvantages:
1. We can’t use the industrial sidings (D10, S1, S2). (There is
really no scenery
which must be on these modules – they
could be on a triangle on one of the
corners)
2. Rick/Ricky’s city scene can’t extend across the entire top of the layout
-
We can put the triangles and a rectangular module behind
the 45 degree
modules in the upper left corner to extend the city
and/or woods to the upper left
This is a relatively small layout (scenery-wise) because it is
L-shaped. We
have to share the available modules. The interior sidings won’t fit
so Scott
volunteered to bring some of his other scenery modules.
I will look at the layout again later today and see what I can do to
expand
Rick/Ricky’s city a little more.
Please feel free to make any other comments or suggestions about the
proposed
layout.
Thanks.
