(...) 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)

Very nice car indeed! I too like the cover on the spare tire. I too want more of those 5 wide car bodies. I still can't believe why they used a dark grey and not a green one in 1380. Keep up the good work - Christian (...) (22 years ago, 21-Sep-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.town, lugnet.adventurers)

<snippage> (...) I guess that's why a lot of clubs use the "defacto" standard of the PNWLTC train module specs. It fits 4 48X48 x-tra large baseplates or 9 32X32 large baseplates on a single module. (approx. 30 inches by 30 inches). Another (...) (22 years ago, 21-Sep-02, to lugnet.town)
