(...) 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)

Hi All - I started generating some layout samples that use 5 of the 30x60 tables. See: (URL) also the puny single table (30x72, I think) layout I used at a show some years ago. With that as a scale, I think the 5 table design is easily attended to (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)
