(...) I think the NWBrickCON guys just had the monorail track set to a height of two of the large black pedestal pieces. Add a slope to get it down to one height and build the monorail at that level, i'd think. That seems to be good enough of a (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

(...) I agree, if there's a concern about fitting the rails past the station module we can just configure the modules accordingly. Either way, Troy, it would be great if you brought a station. We'll make it work! Felix (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

(...) At NW BrickCon we had monorail track at +0, +10, and +20 (and even a small amount at +30 I think). +20 was necessary to clear most modules since it turns out it's easiest to just run the track whereever. However, if a station is actually built (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

(...) We used that standard at NWBrickCon and it worked great. The example picture he gaved essentially used a 8-stud grid that has track lying along borders between bases. But that particular example aimed to keep most straight lines on the 16-stud (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

(...) Oops, sorry about that, you're right. The point I think I was making though is that David Wegmuller's standard is actually more strict than really necessary. The reality is that most of the track we laid was in different positions. I agree (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

(...) One thing I'll add - since a huge collection is not necessary, I won't plan on bringing lots of track, however, I may decide to bring along my bag of 8 stud track lengths since depending on just how large a track collection we have, they may (...)
