OK - I've got the layout design basically done. Here's what it looks like: (URL) a closer view of the industrial side.

(...) Yup - Just didn't want it hangin' over the edge. :-) Any luck finding a grey cloth to give the illusion of the mountain extending up from the floor? That reminds me - How many of those $2 blue table cloths did Michel leave at your place? I (...) (26 years ago, 26-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) Just overlap the baseplates to give the result you want. As long as it fits on a 4'x10' table and the tracks are where they're supposed to be, the baseplates etc. are irrelevant (to me). :-) SRC (26 years ago, 26-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) Whoops! I didn't pay enough attention the first time around... The baseplates should be lined up with the inside, not with the outside of the tracks, if that makes sense - there's an extra 8 studs of baseplate on the outside of this: (TD (...) (26 years ago, 25-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

Here's a close-up of mountain spacing, with the "incline corner-stone reference" highlighted. I moved the "industrial loop" closer in to (URL) mountain because this way the mountain and loop have a 4'x10' table area. Let's the mountain spread out (...)
