Somehow, 65" doesn't sound right to me. Whole baseplates would be best, no? If you are going to go that long, why not bump up to 80" so that you can use standard hollow core doors for table tops.

(...) WAMALUG generally uses 40.25" by 40.25"(4x4 baseplates) square tables. This allows for a complete circle of track to fit on a single table and makes penisulas easy.

(...) The idea brought forward so far is to have the modules at the high end of the set up to be built on adjustable table legs, where it can be continually raised up a few notches each time a new segment is added to from the low end.

(...) Two thoughts: - way too small for minifigs - 4 wide trains would be too small to be able to be made to look good without a ton of special parts The size issue though is probably one reason we won't see 8 wide trains. (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
