(...) I think the parent watched their kids pretty well. I’m not sure if the kids tried to steal anything but if they did then it wasn’t noticeable. A rope would make our display smaller and I don’t think we would want that. (25 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Shims (HD has a pack of 100 for like 4 dollars I think) under the legs to get the levels aligned, clamps to keep things well connected, and GATS supplies the skirt to hid all the details from the mundanes. Sounds like a plan. (25 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

To All, Well, I guess we need some opinions, I will see if I can find any of those border things, if I can get a cost for the show, maybe then we can decide. If not, we can vote on it. I would like to try to get a cost for it first. Scott (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)

(...) 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 (...)
