(...) Chris was proposing 2x3 standard 10 inch 32 stud a side baseplates I think, not the 15 inch extra large 48 stud kind. Hope that helps. (22 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Yup. Good points. I think the thinking behind using 2x3 was that it's large enough to be a significant block.. it does not take roadways into account and thus won't work on a 30" wide module. If you go with a one baseplate standard it needs to (...) (22 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains.org)

(...) 2x3 being the largest blocks? Uh oh. I'm building my blocks as 2x4s with the 8-wide alley running down the middle. I have some more buildings finished and hopefully will have a sample block to bring to the next meeting. David Kohrman (22 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.town)
