The fourth table will likely be parallel to the table that most of your modules are on (I'm not sure about our final space). I don't have a second inside corner, so I don't know how many more modules we can fit. I'm intrigued to see the mini-modules - it's a good idea.

Geoff, The flip will be no problem for me. It looks like there will be room for additional modules on the fourth table, so I'll bring some extra modules. You comments on reverse curves reminded me that the same problem exists on my side of the inside corner. While previous setups left a little bit of space at the end of the table, it wasn't enough for a module, so I built a couple of five-inch "mini modules" to eliminate the reverse curves.

Two things. 1. This is a reminder that the PCC show is tomorrow, Saturday, 9:00 to 3:00. Three of us are setting up a T-Trak layout. Others are coming to assist and run trains. 2. Those bringing modules, a new proposed layout diagram is attached. This rotates and flips the layout so we can use more of the space that the HO guys usually use. That allows Neil to put his "double doubles" together. Brian, let me know if flipping things causes any issues for your side of the layout. The used N-Scale vendor, Doug what's his name, was at the Syracuse show two weeks ago, and may be at the show tomorrow. Many of the other usual vendors will be there too. Polish food is available at reasonable prices. Bring your own drinks though. See some of you in the morning. Geoff |

The doors open for the PCC show around 7:00 am. The show runs from 9:00 to 3:00.
My thought is to set up an L shape, with us behind the L and the public on the other side. Brian will fill up the base of the L (maybe a little more than one table's worth of modules?), and Neil and I (and anyone else?) will cover the other leg (two tables?). Neil, are the new modules all doubles? If not, let me know the dimensions. There will be a DC loop for Brian and anything else DC-only, an outer loop that's DCC, and a third loop that can be either. I spoke with the HO guys at the Syracuse show. They don't think they'll be at the PCC show. This gives us extra room, probably more than we can use. Geoff |

I have the 2 double long ones, but also have been building 4 more, and would like to test run them at the show to make sure all is ok with them. (6 total). -----Original Message-----

Hi Geoff. Sorry to have to pass on the PCC show. I have a family get together on the 19th in Connecticut. Maybe in the Spring.
