I've been doing a bit more thinking on this. Cutting up bits of A4 paper gives a variety of possible module shapes.
Clockwise from the bottom left, there is a standard A3, 2 A4's joined at the short edge, and a large (~15" radius) and small (~12" radius) right angle curve. I've been asked 'so what can you possibly do on something this size'.
I'm not sure its a big problem. In this modern age of less time and smaller spaces, plus job mobility, few of us have that much space for a large layout. I think I only set Cass up properly at shows, as there was no way it fitted into any of the flats I have lived in. However, with a smaller set up that can fit into all sorts of room shapes, the world is the mollusc of your choice.
The big thing will be to sort out a common end plate connector system to fit the small modules together into a large layout.
Also added tonight is a link to the BOP track gang. They are S scale , but the pictures are quite nice.

The 2 A4's sound like a go. What about a standard selection of end board patterns that builders could download ?
Nice to see a socially responsible blog that is "nutter" friendly !
