(...) Thanks - I actually didn't put that much thought into the use of specific figures. I chose them for their looks and size. I just happened to have 2 C3P0's handy for use in the bedroom. (22 years ago, 23-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)
