These look good. The non-alignment of the black stripes is a bit jarring though. I've been surprised at the value of the 6557 cab you've used, these must be one of the more expensive 9v train parts.

Sounds like a good idea. June 17th is out for me, but I think every other date is ok. I have a 4x8 table already, but I'm sure the length of the legs is wrong. I think they're 3ft+plywood thickness, and the screws poke out. Changing to new legs (...) (24 years ago, 4-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.nclug, lugnet.loc.us.nc)
