32 x 32 for the standard road baseplate.

Thanks Eric, I was thinking either 32 of 48, but for some reason I just
couldn't remember.

Yes 32 is the width of the regular road plated.  48 is the width of the large gray
plates.  50 is the width of the 60's - 70's version of the same gray plate.  50 is
also the size of the very first road plate, the '68-'71 (Samsonite only) 50x50
green plate with the squiggly "Y" road pattern (without road markings).

(...) I really hope to get one of these original road plates at some point, but then I'll have to figure out how to deal with it not being a multiple of 16x16 (I'd probably end up cutting newer baseplates). (24 years ago, 28-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)
