Hi Mike, I think your approach to buy and install a 1-2 ft Plexiglas wall, like a sneeze guard, is the best. Then you can run the layout all the way to the edge. I can help with this if needed. There is a decent TAP plastics in Fremont. How would (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Although I am almost done with the track plan, I need to get with Tom Stangl and Zonker on one development we had - any crowd barriers have to be part of our layout, which means that having 2' roped off cuts our layout to 6'x11', which is pretty (...)

Dear Mr. Lehman If it's no trouble, could you set up a LUGOLA (LEGO User Group of Los Angeles) newsgroup, i.e. lugnet.org.us.lugola?
