I've found that if you allow for a plate thickness for the baseplate it
works pretty well. All of my monorail is 4 bricks higher than the
supports. That means that I had to raise the monorail station
baseplates 4 bricks as well. Here's a rough graphic:
###### <- Plate (2x4)
###---------------- <- baseplate (## is a 2x2 plate)
###### <- brick
###### <- brick
###### <- brick
###### <- brick
The plate on the top connects to the pegs on the baseplate solidifying
the connection.

| Okay, I think I see how it works, did you have to tun the bricks far under the baseplate so you can attach things to it while it's up there. or are the baseplates sturdy enought to do it?? Thanks for the info. Larry Andersen wrote in message (...) (26 years ago, 20-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)
