Just a half block east of Moscone is ThirstyBear brewing, a decent brewpub, serving Tapas as its main food effort. Further away, and just OK, is the SF location of Gordon Biersch brewing. Also serves dinner, but rather yuppie. Embarcadero @ Harrison (...) (24 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

I'll be in San Francisco Saturday 26-Aug through Wednesday 30-Aug at the Seybold Conference (Moscone Center). I'll be with my boss most of the time so I don't expect to have a whole lot of free time. Is anyone attending the conference? Maybe we (...) (24 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

I will not have any tracks enter the station. The tracks will come across outside the station, which will allow me to move the station much easier. Come to think of it now, I might want to just slide the back out another 32 studs and see how it (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

I sympathize with your "end-of-station" pondering. I graveled with that issue for my mere two story monorail track as the front transitioned to the side, then on to the back. How many parallel tracks will enter your station? Any thoughts on the (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)
