Final Track Plan?

Probably not but we are getting close.  With LEGOPalooza less than two weeks away, the (near) final track plan  has been posted.  It is coming together – I am pretty sure this will be the largest train layout NCLTC has ever done.  It certainly has the largest and most interesting rail yard we’ve ever had.  [...]
