Well, Barry and Marc, I have seen a good many mini-layouts in the model press in recent years, and my first (and oft repeated) reaction was 'Why, What for? What's the point?' But with this layout, I thought I discerned a little of what was in your alcohol-befuddled mind! You can sit or stand (but probably sit) anywhere close to the layout, and only have to reach out a short way to lay hands on the glass of Welsh Ale on the edge of the baseboard. Then you put track on the most convenient place on which a glass of ale could stand. Was I wrong, then? But No! That bit of track is to be cobbled over, thus retaining the flat area on which to stand said glass. I feel inspired. I hope I still feel the same after I've sobered up! All the very best of luck to you, Marc. It will be great (and truly a miracle!) to see this layout (if that is what is intended) finished and working. Is there a copyright on the design? Barry
