(...) If you have large enough clamps (C-clamps), you can clamp them using the metal flanges under the tables. (25 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Steve 20x32 is the outside so if we do a rope off then our table size is 16x28 with a 2ft. perimiter.Or like the last show we can use the whole space without ropes.Again that is something we have to decide on.I also have been playing with a (...)

(...) If we don't have a barrier, we could move the track back from the edge 1/2 to 1 plate to protect the trains. If we go to a 16x28 area it becomes difficult to lay out the tables and the inside area gets pretty small. (25 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) I think clamps are a great idea. We could clamp some of the tables to make them even. We need to think of a way to make them where they’re not noticeable. I’ll keep thinking about it.

(...) Yep you can put me down for the monorail. (...) I wouldn't worry about having to cram it to close Trev,as Scott can atest i have a ton of monorail( 104 of the big 10 inch straights alone) so we can spread it over more then 2 tables. (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Larry clamps are a good idea for those pesky tables.We were thinking along the lines of shims(avalible at home depot etc.)for lineing up the tables. (25 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Gentlemen, the 20x32 is the OUTSIDE dimension.So if we include a rope barrier around the tables then we are really talking about a 16x28 area table wise(with 2 ft. perimator) 18x30 with 1ft. etc. Yes GATS provides tables i just have to call (...)

(...) Ah, OK. Check. Cool. Tony, what did you and Chris come up with on leveling tables. Do we need to scrounge up clamps to attach some of the tables to each other (I have one pair of spring clamps) ++Lar (25 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Larry & All, (...) We didn't need tables, I was just telling the cost of the tables that were there at Sam's, as we were discussing them at the last meeting at Chris's house. All tables will be provided at all three places. My oversight. Scott S. -- (25 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Here is a proposal for a 20x32 layout with a hollow center, the center area is 7.5x16. The open area on the end is 30" and would be a nice place to put a few bridges. Each rectangular area = 1 table. (URL) (25 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
