Well, in the new house, taking over the room is the problem.  We can't figure 
out how to fit even a minimal LGB setup in while still being able to entertain.

I suggested a track around the ceiling, but certain family members (cough mom
cough) were appaled at the idea.  The problem is that the room is long and 
narrow, and we need a minimum of 4ft wide (minimum turning radius) to fit the 
train.  Maybe next year we shall find a plan.
