So I mocked up the support for Altenburg on Sunday.  I've got a support
grid which provides baseplate support every 16 studs; it seems to be
quite sturdy.  However, I'm not sure where to put the pillars - the
turns are likely to suck up a lot of space.

Derek, it'd be helpful if I knew what the clearance specs were for
different turn geometries for your Big Beast (tm).  Could you at least
post a simply diagram of your different cars - y'know, 8xN with bogies
of size X at positions Y and Z?  That way I can mock up a model and put
support together.

(...) If the top town is called Altenburg, what is the bottom villages called? (...) Speaking of that, I'm having a lot of trouble with making things 14-15 brick tall compliant. This requirement really stretches the vertical axis of buildings far (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jul-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Sorry I didn't get a chance to dig my cars out last night. I'll do it tonight and post bogie locations and lenghts for tomorrow. The good thing with the sweeping turns is the cars won't stick out as much. Derek (22 years ago, 30-Jul-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
