I'm having fun with this... It's like puzzle pieces. :)
Here's some more table layouts:

One of these days I'll get bored with musical tables, and actually lay some
(virtual) track...
What do other people think about how the tables are laid out? Does it

That could alleviate some of the transport concerns of a larger layout, too.

| (...) <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)

| 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)
