    Re: Track Designer layout available to DL —Robin Sather
   I've uploaded a suggested table arrangement layout to xdrive. Is assumes that we can snag 1 30"x70" (or 72") table with a heigh close to that of the others (35 5/8"). File is V-D0003R.tdl I've included the following text in the "Properties" of the (...) (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

     (...) I just uploaded v-D0002K.tdl: same table arrangement as original, with green and blue (and yellow for beach!) baseplates in place, track layout modified to remove short-circuit loops and make yard and passenger sidings as long as possible.

     (...) OK, now there's v-K003K.tdl on the table layout in my other message. Much more space for things around the track. Gonna stop now.

         Re: Track Designer layout available to DL —Robin Sather
     (...) Don't forget to increment the version number or this'll get *really* confusing. This file should be number "0004". With this layout, will there be enough room for the shipyard "works" (crane, deck, etc.) at or near the end of the sidings. (...) (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
    
         Re: Track Designer layout available to DL —Kevin Wilson
     (...) It was actually the 002 file that I forgot to increment. I'll call the next file 005 and there'll be a gap in the numbers. I suspect this was a little too complicated for our tiny brains, Robin :-) Kevin ---...--- Personal Lego Web page: (URL) (...) (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

         Re: Track Designer layout available to DL —Dean Husby
     (...) I used to manage three people on Database Design. And YES, it can get VERY nasty when someone forgets to change the numbers and a days work gets erased. BAH! So I know how important it is... That way you can go back to a backup if someone F (...) (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
   
        Re: Track Designer layout available to DL —Kevin Wilson
   (...) This looks better Robin. That one more table makes a big difference. I'm moving bits of cut-out paper around too... maybe we should just movetables for a while. How about this (requires monospaced font!): +-----+---...---+---...-----+---+ | | (...) (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
   
        Re: Track Designer layout available to DL —Dean Husby
     (...) That's pretty good Kevin, I think that's more like it. Now, if the tables are different heights, how's this for our elevation? We can have a 'low' end and a high end. But the Water has to be on the low end of course. We could make it look like (...) (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
   
        Re: Track Designer layout available to DL —Robin Sather
   (...) This looks pretty good, keeping in mind that the "unknown" table is the one at the far left end. This could give us some height problems. Assuming this table is shorter than Dean's, the easiest thing to do would be to stick stuff (books?) (...) (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
