Dave I know you gone to one heck of a lot of work. I love the drawings that you would do. You are great for doing those from Mark so he can visualize. I do have a suggestion though. I'm sorry to bring it up because I realize it's a pain to switch it. I would put the cassette area in the very front of the layout. Why? Because that way when you are switching in and out cars you are not reaching over other track or scenery doing it. In other words, someone could be running a train while somebody else was switching cars on and off the layout. It would not be a good idea to reach over while a train was in the area. Also, I would stick to the cassettes just being one single strip of track. Why? Because if it was double wide the cars could fall from side to side. I would make a single strip cassette. The cassette would have walls on each side and a wallet each end wall may not be the best term to describe it so that when Rolling Stock is setting on the cassette it cannot fall off the sides or roll off the end. That would be difficult to do with a cassette was anything more than just one single track. That is some more of my random thoughts. Also I'm thinking oh God here we go again that all the curves are a 42 diameter on the layout. Everything looks so excuse me standard. It is possible that in the corners in some places 72 diameter curves could be used. A big swooping curve might look better in some spots instead of everything being so neat. Again this is just a random thought. I think you guys might send out a party to kill me.
