Re: Corner module construction
I like the orange, red, yellow and blue for the fact that we can have
a small double dog bone layout if the end loops are avelable like we
had in Fishkill.

Re: Corner module construction
With the mountian division there is a possability of running DCC with out interfering with the blue, yellow, red and orange.
Just food for thought.
