I am not sure how solid the tables are if there is a full opening on one side of the layout, I think it might open up fairly easily. I we have an opening in the outer ring, then more legs have to be made. There will be 2N+2 legs, where N equals the (...) (24 years ago, 8-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

You can find the plans for the modular tables, designed by Ben, on the PNLTC web site. (URL) to the "Tools/Specs" page and you'll see "Modular Table Specifications". I believe that these can be downloaded as a PDF or WMF formats. Kim -----Original (...) (24 years ago, 7-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) I think it's a good idea. Especially if the train yard is off only 1 line (likely), then we should either be careful to have a 2 way connection, or make sure that our engines run in 1 direction only. Keeps down the 5-finger switching I'm so (...) (24 years ago, 7-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) <Grin> A few comments on layout proposals: - how important is it to have a 2-way connection between a pair of otherwise independent loops? That can take not much space if it is done when tracks from the two loops are close together. The Oct4 (...) (24 years ago, 7-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

That being said, I think I'd prefer if the elevation changes were limited to what we need to have for the terrain. I realize that we're (...) (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
