(...) Looks like a mock-up of a new radius curve track. Wonder where it came from and if it's new. jt (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

The GMLTC uses 40"x60" plywood tables with custom-built aluminum frames underneath and heavy-duty folding legs. Some pros and cons: - Pro: Plenty of room! After we trashed our last layout, we consciously decided to build "larger" this time: 8-wide (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) Funny you should mention that. I just bought 6 of that very type of banquet table for the traveling TCLTC layout yesterday ($41 each from Costco). I really like these tables and am excited about using them. I should also say that we've also (...) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains.org, FTX)

(...) Kevin- That's an unsolved problem for us that gets worse when we are in a hurry and as the layout gets larger. When we are not rushed, we losen the bolts a little and jiggle things until the square tables just fall into place. For our current (...) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) I should point out that at SCLTC, we initially provided spring clamps for temporary connection ($0.99 each) or until bolts were installed, but decided that they really were not necessary. We use wing nuts and just fasten the bolts finger (...) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains.org, FTX)

(...) Kevin- I agree totally that making tables is -- or can be -- a lot of work. If all we ever did with the tables was set them up at matching heights at a show and then lay LEGO on them, it would definitely NOT be worth it. What does make it (...) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) I note that the loco in those pictures is not cloaked in Lego parts however. That was the hardest part for me. The front is made from two "6091 - Brick, Modified 2 x 1 x 1 1/3 with Curved Top". Of course, they got "adjusted" along with some of (...) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains)
