Our current module design is posted here:
http://www.niltc.org/standards/table/
The recommended table design will be changing soon.
Our track standards have changed, we're now 8 studs in-between the rails.
One thing about our club is there's no table standard. We have standards
each table has to conform to when lining up with other tables, but our
tables don't all have to be made a certain way. Each club member is
responsible for his/her (no female members yet) own tables. Some design
theirs to break into 2 pieces for easier transporting in small cars.
With our up and coming designs, there will be standard hole locations to
attach plexi. I'm not really involved in the details of deciding this in the
club, since I'm construction-illiterate. BUT - Tom brought this topic up to
me, and so I figured I'd get it going online.
