Well, I picked up all the 1x2's and plywood to build 3 modules today. Hopefully can get them together before we head out to Windsor on Thursday. If they go together well, I will get enough for 3 more, and then hopefully I can get my mountain (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)

(...) nice...I hope that mountain idea works... I am trying to integrate a pair of level crossings into my layout, but it will be next to impossible to get an optimal look. The problem is my LRT trasnsit loop around my layout. I did a rough look at (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.parlugment, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Apart from the corners (ie, JeffE, JeffVW and myself) the rest is relatively rearrangable to fit however many (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)

Well, I think I better scale myself down and go for 3 modules instead of 6. I'll try to fit our stuff into the 3 remaining modules in the lower right of the layout. If I had money and time to spare, I'd go ahead with my grandiose mountain layout, (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.parlugment, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I hear you - I'm working on my third mountain module and *gosh* it uses up a lot of bricks. I'd love to discuss building tips with you at train2 - there's got to be a better way... Jeff E (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.parlugment, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Well, I cut all my 1x2's to the correct length, sanded them all down and the plywood too, and then went to put them together. Doh! Who would have guessed that a 1x2 was not really a 1x2? It's actually only 0.75x1.5!?!? This might not come as a (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.parlugment, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Yeah, I'd love to chat about construction techniques, etc. I can just imagine how many bricks you're going through right now. That was a pretty impressive layout you outlined on Brickshelf. Have you got any more pictures to tease us with? Play well. (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.parlugment, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I should put out a new module map with that change, but you can still take three modules without the corner, there'll probably be balancing out on the other side. I should probably ask (...)

(...) 1x2's are not 1" x 2", yes, and Iain would probably chime in with how stupid Imperial measurements are if he wasn't on vacation right now. But your module should be: 3/8" (MDF or Ply top) 1.5" (middle skirt of 1x2" on end) 0.75" (bottom skirt (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.parlugment, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Jeff, if you have something ready, that's OK. I just didn't know that it had been taken. I can redesign our modules to go around a curve and back to the outside again or something.
