Subject: Re: Garden Ridge TCA LayoutAs you know, layout space has always been up in the air until we arrive. L-shapes were built after determining that they would fit. every year has been the same way. rumor has it that Jason will be there as well. I personally like L-shapes but it all depends on space and manpower. I'm sure whatever y'all set up will look good and work well. Model Railroading is Fun!!

Subject: Re: Garden Ridge TCA LayoutIra,
All I know is -- we did L shaped layouts in 2010 and 2011 at Garden Ridge and everybody seemed to enjoy them and they fit the space. If we're getting less space and only a 6 X 2 with 90 degree corners will fit then so be it. Just trying to help.
As for your statement, "you apparently don't understand the geometry of layouts." I admit to being part of the "great unwashed." After all, all I have is bachelors and masters degrees in engineering. So, a topic as complex as layout geometry is probably beyond my abilities. Thankfully, we have you to carry this heavy burden. And thanks for the lesson.
See ya' at setup
Bill
