(...) That's exactly what we've done: Use smaller modules, always. The standard in rtlToronto is 30.25x30.25", using the PNLTC standard.

A few things : For several LOWLUG events we needed tables. In the end we settled for tables exactly 2*3 32*32 baseplates. Reason : these still go through a normal door and are still easily carried by one person. The legs are whatever you want, (...) (20 years ago, 12-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains.org)
