John, Is there some reason to put 20 levels of bricks other than to use up all those bricks in colors nobody likes? The only thing I can think of is so that you can drop down 20 layers to make a subway, but it seems cheaper to just build a platform (...)

I have given some thought to the tables as well. I think Ben's design is a winner! However, in planning some train layouts (never built) I have found (and others suggested to me) that 3 baseplates deep leaves a lot to be desired, especially if the (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains)

Yep, that's my design. At a minimum, I suggest 30.25" x 60.5" for long linear runs. When I need extra depth, I stack them two deep. We (PNLTC) also have a few tables that are ~40" x ~80. The larger size gives you a pretty good amount of space for a (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains)
