I saw on a cached version of the MR forums Joe talking about a moat mushroom design. I did a search but couldn't find much on the subject and I am hoping Joe (or anyone else) could fill me in on what it entails and how it differs from a "traditional" mushroom design. I'm also curious if anyone has a good idea of a rough rule if thumb for layout space to mainline ratio; ex I've sampled a couple different designs such as John Parker's Fall River Division and he gets roughly 1 ft of mainline run over 3 sq ft of layout area whereas as Joe's Siskiyou line gets a ratio of 1:2.25 if memory serves I do realize that these are rough approximations as variances such as space constraints and the actual design of the layout can alter this ratio considerably.
