    Re: Just got back from GATS... —Tony Hedglen
   (...) ---...--- Hey Peter, While your fixing the Mc D’s I thought it would be cool to have a small parking lot and a road for the drive though. (Just a thought) I’m going to make a power plant and a logging facility, and maybe some more misc. office (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
   
        Re: Just got back from GATS... —Peter Guenther
   (...) Yeah, I was always going to, but I hate to make it take up more space... I may do some kind of restaurant module so the extra space is taken up by blank space on other baseplates for my buildings. KFC will return next time, Taco Bell and Pizza (...)

        Re: Just got back from GATS... —Chris Leach
     (...) Peter, a restaurant module sounds good.Lets say you have a 7 plate area for those 4 restaurants...knowing that you could do drive thru,parking lot etc.As a side note Steve R. has your buildings.He offered to take them as he has more space and (...)

         Re: Just got back from GATS... —Peter Guenther
     I'll try for 6 (2 x 3) plates, but it might end up 8 (2x4). That will include the KFC, McDonald's, parking/drive-thru, and IHOP. I'll do it on baseplates with a raised "berm" as someone called it, kind of like Steve did with the turntable, to hold (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

     (...) Peter we have the T's ,i didn't see the crosses but i wll chack my box of plates they are most likely there.Take the 2x4 area and have fun with it with parking etc.The next display at Novi i have already dicussed and have been given a larger (...)

        Re: Just got back from GATS... —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) I think we are being thrown by the use of roadplates a bit. We lay down these roadways and the edges of the roadplates end up being wasted space, because the building is built in the middle of another baseplate. Some sort of modular approach (...)

       (...) I agree i think they are close enough and with the sidwalks we put down i thought the downtown AND the strip malls looked good. (...) Yep,very good point, (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
     
          Re: Just got back from GATS... —Scott Sanburn
       Amy & All, (...) It depends on the situation, that is for sure. A combo is the best resort, I think. (...) Right. (...) Right. (...) Indeed. Maybe we can do both, a classic downtown, short enough for people to see and the one we have now. Scott -- (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
     
          Re: Just got back from GATS... —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) With you on that... (...) Not with you on that one. Narrower would be better.. 3 tables is too deep. It was worse on the railyard side but even on the city side there were some impacts... (...) I think the proposal on taking into account that (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
     
          Re: Just got back from GATS... —Peter Guenther
      (...) Wow. This is like some kind of record number of postings for me. I definitely agree with Scott on the combo approach (and I think Larry's saying the same thing)--for some areas, like my restaurants, closing them in makes a lot of sense. For (...)

         Re: Just got back from GATS... —Peter Guenther
     (...) That's a good point, Lar. Let me revise what I just said in response to Chris--I should have no problem doing this in a 3x3 baseplate space (30"square) with the front three of those being roadplates. I'll need to borrow some MichLUG straights (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
   
        Re: Just got back from GATS... —Scott Sanburn
   Peter, (...) Maybe you can do a common parking lot /driveway for all of them, have it in the middle, and then just have the restaurants in front, surrounding it? (...) Indeed. (...) I don't, I spend it before! ; ) (...) Heh heh, he is coming over to (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
