Simple, it is a prototype! Why red? Because Lego usually (...) (20 years ago, 15-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)
