Na. I already know and I have the bloody knuckles to prove it.
just kidding.
Seriously, how do you know you're on the right track? While John G
posted some of the details regarding modules (2x3 of the 15 inch base
plates, track insets, how many bricks high it is) I didn't think that
the documentation available (say on my web site) would admit of a 100%
accurate construction.
Well, I guess it depends on how accurate you want to be. Are you trying
to get details like the lattice structure right? How about where the
power controller cutouts are?
Or are you just trying to get "close" in look and feel.
I would think as long as the track center spacing was right, and the
height of the module was right, and the number of studs in from the edge
the track is offset by (a piece of track spans each module border) you'd
be able to interoperate, no matter what internal structure you had.
neat idea... I may have to see if I can build one too (but I think
probably I don't have enough basic bricks to do it)

| Would people be interested in seeing how the GMLTC modules are made? I am working on one and am trying to finish it before the BayLUG meeting. I would prefer to hear that people are actually interested, though, as it is really putting me under the (...) (25 years ago, 4-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf.sj, lugnet.trains.org)
