Oooo, can I call a two module straight section too. Like Jeff's with the 4
spacer + 8 track + 8 spacer + 8 track.
I too have started work on trains in deference to my three rtl10 robots. Last
time I was home my dad built me some most excellent module bases. So I now want
to build on them.
I don't think I'll be cutting base plates though. I am going to include a train
station, so along with Calum's there will be a few stops along the way.
I am also planning to build a significant structure above the tracks, so if we
could decide on a maximum height for the train cars soon it would be a great
help. I think for last time it was 15 bricks, but I remember someone saying the
camera car with a wide angle lens might need more.
Anyway that's what I have planned at the moment.
