  A quick peek
 
Kevin stopped by my place of work today to drop off one or two odds and ends and took the opportunity to show off his new black and gray loco. It's amazingly smart looking. I don't know if there are pictures of it posted anywhere yet, but if not, (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jul-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

  Duel's Tales is Back!
 
Our family run site, Duel's Tales located at: (URL) is back online a week early! Our site has been "down" for about two months due to a serious need to reorganize all the files into folders. We had all the files in one directory and it got very (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jun-02, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.org.us.lucny, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.technic.bionicle)
 
  Re: Layout samples
 
(...) Hey, Im working on a 30x60 module that could easily be added to the layout (though no train attachment) for shows when Im out there and able. This is along the same idea as what you were thinking, I believe. Its a simple collection of some (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

  Re: Layout samples
 
(...) of (...) Wayne, you forgot one major detail: due to the physical table layout, the bridge gap will have to be offset if we use 5 tables. Oh--it looks like you are using only 4 tables in this plan. Nate Jacobs mentioned a few posts back that he (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)
 
  Re: Layout samples
 
(...) Yes! Even with carpet we did more crawling that we cared to at our last show - so our new layout includes a Bascule bridge. :) James (NALUG) (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)
 
  Re: Layout samples
 
(...) Crawl under is very very typical. Jump over is very very foolish. Bring a piece of carpet or rug to put at the spot where everyone crawls in/out... you'll be doing it more than you think and your knees will really appreciate it. (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)
 
  Re: Simu-track
 
There are a couple of LUCNY people who have about 17 miles of track :) Maybe Nicole could borrow a couple of straight pieces? You never know, she might get infected like me and start into trains as well as everthing else she's into :) JB (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)
 
  Re: Layout samples
 
This is a bit better. A couple of bridges would be nice. (eye candy) My question is what about access to the center? Jump over or climb under them sounds risky to me. Any one read this?: (URL) need an answer so I can proceed with our Lucnyville (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)
 
  Re: Layout samples
 
Cool, John I don't mind your layout however it really doesnt allow for alot of stock cars to get side tracked. With that in mind I took my last design and merged it into something that you did with some altered table adjustments.. You will see now (...) (22 years ago, 21-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)
