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
doesn't have 8x32 baseplates)

This is important because of a couple things - the baseplates as I've got them
have the track & baseplate edges lining up - makes it *much* easier to assemble
and not worry about track segments sticking out and banging into things when
moving.

Sorry for not being clear about that the first time,

James

(...) 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)
