The track layout is rather boring I will agree - but isn't that just a rather extreme example of what I believe Triang used to call 'Magnahesion' ?!?!? :lol:

This is excellent , I suppose that the layout could be made more complex, and the space saving idea on the ceiling is good , though bedrooms would be right out, or she who must be obeyed would be most dismayed :lol:
