Well, with all this stock it looks like we are half way there • already! -
will these items fit onto a module (see nbltc.org) or two modules?
Essentially, a couple of trial runs are needed prior to the LLW event • where
we can all get together to assemble a large layout and place • buildings,
viewing points, control locations etc.

Modules are 1277 long x 638 wide (nominal 1280x640 when bolted up)and • share
proportions with a 2x4 lego brick. With a dozen modules we could set • up a
really decent display 6400 x 2560 (about 21ft x 8ft 6) with a central • well
to hide in about 4ft x 17ft.

NBLTC will have the first 6 modules assembled and running this • Saturday. Are
there any takers for the rest?


I guess I would like to see some basic design to the layout rather than
a hap hazard distribution of mocs around a train line(s)

It doesn't have to be complex but if we could sketch out something like
a 21x8 area, then divide it into zones, then see what people have or are
willing to build for each of those zones.
e.g. a goods and marshalling yard zone, a town centre zone, a village
zone, whatever.
Then in the town zone we could have a basic street plan and then folks
get allocated a block or whatever to fill.
