Thanks!  Based on what had been described before, I pretty much figured out the
tower and grid system myself, but I had only been using one brick towers.  Now
if only I had more bricks.. :)

So for our 20 brick tall layout sections, it's 6 brick
tall tower, grid, 5 brick tall tower, grid, 5 brick tall tower, grid, top
layer = 20 bricks tall.

So when you put in the extra plate in some sections it goes tower, grid, tower,
grid, tower, grid, plates, top?

Credit goes to Conan, he came up with the original grid & tower system.

I wouldn't want to help lift the modules he built before he figured that out!

(...) Done. Check it out at (URL) left to right: Dark grey are the 2x2 'towers'. Green is the outside wall of the section, built from 2x4 bricks. Light grey is the 'grid', notice how each 2x4 is attached to two towers, or a tower and the side wall. (...) (24 years ago, 23-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf.sj, lugnet.trains.org)
