My Town Layout

Seems like you need more table space! But I do like that the PR overlooks the park. That really seems like a good design choice overall.

thanks guys for all your comments

@LT & Gunm: You are right, i need bigger table space. Hopefully i can come up with some solutions, i guess i still have 9 months time to think abou right, before the new modular coming up?

@Zabdiel: Thanks for your recommendation on the park..

My suggestion.....maybe a L shaped table ?

That is really a very good idea... L shaped table ..... hmmm that way, I don't have to worry about making my park bigger... but I can continuously display the coming modular houses. thanks LT

Here's an idea........have a few 32x32 spaces set up as construction sites which can move on when you get the next modular to fill that site's place.

I like that idea...I seen a really nice 'Building Site' MOC on here a while ago...really adds to the life of a City Build.

I like the construction site idea too.

A nice little layout. If you do MOCs, you should do a railway station that fits the style of the modulars.

I'm not sure a railway station in the style of the modulars would look right. To me the train looks like a rapid transit / light rail type train due to the short coaches (I know Lego describe is a high speed train but that makes sense from a marketing perspective). If you assume it's some kind of light rail system then a more modern looking station would make sense, maybe with a low platform. I agree that a MOC station would look better than the one from the set as it's too short. One trick you could use if you don't want to build a full length station would be to have the station somewhere along the back of your town with an entrance between two of the modulars and a short platform in the bit you can see between the buildings. When looking from the front you could imagine that the platform continues behind the other modulars. I think you'd need to rearrange your modulars and you might end up with one modular which didn't fit...

I suggest hiding some of your flex track under the crossing's tiles.

EDIT: Remembering that you can't just straight replace the crossing track with flex track and have all the tiles fit, I found the thread that gave me the idea.

Nice layout - I like how the park gives light into the rest of the town - brilliant work there.
