ED, I installed the RTS software and used it to checkout the layout that you sent to me. Your layout was really cool. I like it a lot. I really like the "YARD" aspect of the layout. I am making the following assumptions: 1. The little black squares on the layout represent where track is joined together. 2. The cutting of the plywood was length-wise as opposed to width-wise. 3. The cut was made by a sabre saw Questions are: 1. Why a zig zag cut? 2. Why in the middle, wouldn't a piece of wood(plywood) joined at either length-wide side worked just as well? 3. Since you knew in advance that you were going to modify the plywood, why did you stay with the 18" radii that would restrict you to 4 axle locos for better operations. 4. I will be taking your advice and buy a couple of the publications that you mentioned. I have been purchasing the Model RR magazine for the Hobby Shop nearby. 5. Sorry that I took so long posting this reply. I have been doing some work on a family tree. ponyboy
