4x8 track plans

I recall a very innovative HO "4x8" track plan in MR many moons ago (I'd guess late 60's - early 70's?). I use quotation marks because the design called for cutting off two triangles from the plywood sheet and re-attaching them to form a non-rectangular shape. <br /> <br />The thing I liked best about the plan was that it had interesting operation potential. The plan was a double loop oval with a small yard and wye, and three small towns (passing sidings with spurs). The schematic was well suited for point-to-point operation using the yard as both terminals. The minimum radius was 16" and obviously the passing sidings were short so the design would certainly favor a branch line or logging theme. <br /> <br />I've always thought of this as an ingenius design [bow]... but darn if I could find it in my magizine inventory. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
