| | | I kinda thought we'd put on new trains by setting them at the top of the ramp and letting them zip down on their own. It's called *rolling* stock, right? :D By all means, add a rail yard if you have the time and energy. Right now, I *think* Jeff VW (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I was referring to the box o' track I may bring to set up an impromptu railyard so we have a place to store rolling stock 'n such. Right now I only have one extra module, but (...)

I'm going to try and get some strips of wood that are 1" thick to prop them up with. But if some one whats to use them it would help if (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | | (...) Since Matthias' modules aren't quite standard we'll use yours first, then fill in with Matthias' as needed. Matthias' need to be propped up by an inch to be level with standard modules. Derek (22 years ago, 14-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Then what I'll do is have a switch after the outside curve in SE corner, going on to my spare module (which I'll landscape et al), and set up the train yard/switches, which will proceed onto Matthias' modules... So the spare module will be (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | (...) My module is mostly full now, though I could throw in a switch to go onto Ben's Mod. It's up to Ben, then, to see if he wants to throw a rail yard on his mod or not. No worries eitehr way. We can just remove rolling stock as needed :) Dave K (22 years ago, 14-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Of course you could always make a half module out of the left overs from making 3 full mods. Jeff VW (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
