Anyway here is our most accurate guess as to what size curves and straight track lengths we will need for the basic layout.
Scott will choose which Lionel location he prefers and that does not have to be done until setup day. The sawmill will go into which ever area becomes available. Also the Trolley line (not shown) is a "fit in after" line which depends upon space available after all the buildings are in. If it is possible we would like to weave a trolley around much of the layout and have it automatically reverse and stop at a couple of selected spots. I have not seen it but I think Carl and maybe Walter have a devise from Split Jaw that will do that!
I did here that the Club has purchased a Green Percy engine to accompany Thomas on his adventure ride through tunnels and under a waterfall as the main lines cross overhead. All on the new lowered easy to see section for the youngsters to enjoy. The new waterfall and pond we are working on will be in the Thomas area. I don't know if we can do it but I think a small fountain just a couple of feet tall in the center of the pond would look and sound very nice. The spray as it hits the water creates a nice effect. It kind of beckons you to toss in a coin. I hope we can pass along a nice contribution to some charity, who knows?
