This question is posed to Derek and Iain:

will both of your trains and wagons fit through this area (its 15 blocks • and
1 plate in at the highest point....

Oh hellz yeah. I can clear that no problemo! Awesome. :)

(Looks like I *can* make it to train3 after all, btw.)

I think we found at the MONLUG train show that the width of the eluraCar is
extremly disproportionate to the height. It's tall, but it's not wide. It's
an 8wide car (with hand strap secured to the body of the camera so it
doesn't flop all about), but at like 14.1 high (bricks.plates, ie, 0.3 =
1.0). So it tends to make openings in structures really nasty sized :-/

I guess we just have to decide, does the satisfaction people get from
watching the POV clips in the videos outweight the added headaches of
construction? It's something I've been thinking about for a while. I hate to
like, imply that everything HAS to have an opening that big, just for the
camera I happen to have. Feels kinda guilty :-/

I have created a train station (the dark grey region in this image

support pillars, may be in the way, if your wagons, are 15b 1p  (b=brick,
p=plate (for Chris ;-)  )) right across.

WOW! That's a lot of stuff!!

We should all make an effort to take some pictures of how Jeff packs the
stuff in his car, and send them to show Subaru. :)

I was thinking of that just last night.....

I think I will need to do some module stacking (RTL 11???). Calum, did you
use 1 x 2 peices of plywood to stack your modules?

What am I going to do when I want to build more modules... (because I have
an Idea for 2 more....)

(...) 2x2, I think. I think Chris helped me chop them down to 24 inches each (eight feet). I drilled in three holes in each, making the spacing about 21-22 inches between each module. I bolted them in an offset fashion (one on each side on the (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
