(...) <snip> Okay All, I decided to take Wayne's design this morning and run. First, I copied Wayne's tracks and started playing. I think I addressed the problem with a yard, and the buildings problem. But, the tracks came out simple. Have a look: (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

Now I remember why I did so good in Math when it came to geometry... Anyhow, I looked over everything so far and said to myself.. I already knew train track takes up space but, after working in the Automation switches and crossing as well as #2 (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

(...) You're not at all off base. The next MichLTC layout will have the capacity for 5 9V operating units (4 trains and one trolley) at the same time. More motion == goodness. (22 years ago, 20-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

Ok since I don't have any track I made this simulated one for sizing on a baseplate. The reason is so I can size an overhead gantry prototype for Arcane Co.'s building which I (we) are still working on. What I need to know is the size (LxW) a (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

I guess I'm not very "up" on train displays, the only Lego ones I've seen up close were at BrickFest and BricksWest. What I notice about your layouts is they all feature only one continuously circulating track as far as I can see. I understand a lot (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)
