Hello Steve, It is looking promising, not sure about the practicality of such a large mountain! The other major problem, is that as currently drawn, it takes one more small 30.5x30.5 table than I currently have! I only have the equivalent of 18 (...)

(...) Alright, here it is with some "terrain" filled in. (URL) lower right is the town, the upper left is a monorail station. Here's a closeup of the mountain and switching yard.

James, in short back to the drawing board! Mountain on 30.5x61 inch table, in the corner, with two 9V tracks at ground level. Not sure if only 1 or two loops of 12V above this, will depend on experimentation. If John is able, a rackrailway a la (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) OK - I did up one based on what I think the table layout was... (URL) I didn't know how to indicate the mountain, but the top right corner (all 61" x 61" of it) is mountain. The mountain has multiple peaks and valleys, so that the monorail (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) I came up with a design that's based on what we were talking about when I left (mountain in the corner). It's basically a variant of Michel's layout that I started toying with. The grey plates are (roughly) where a mountain might sit. :) (URL) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) I think so - Michel and I had come up with the largest layout possible with the existing tables (based on the blocks he was using as substitutes) I was going to make up a plan, but I'm not sure how many tables of each size he has for sure...

Well, I had to take off early, but when I left, track layouts were being tossed about... Anything conclusive come out of that? James (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

This is a long shot, but hey, I'll try anything... Would anyone in VLC be interested in helping us with a layout at the Supertrain show in Calgary (Feb 17-18)? NALUG has been invited, but not all of us can attend. The real need just one more person (...)
