Ok, so John and I have been talking about the GBC modules we're building for the IndyLUG layout in October. We've both had ideas for GBC modules that move balls over the train track. Before we each wonder off in our own directions, I'd like to (...) (19 years ago, 7-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Ok, I signed up for a pretty small area, which is 2x6 baseplates, or 64x192 studs. There's an adjacent open area that we can expand into, if needed. The train wonders into other areas, but I've really signed up for a single row of six modules (...) (19 years ago, 1-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
