(...) I have seen people put the 12V center wheel from a 12V motor there. Not sure how they did it. If you do, you lose the outer cladding (which simulates the truck sideframe members, spring hangers and other stuff). (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | GFLTC Take on Modules...
|
|
With over 70 post with in the last 24 hours, most on the table and module design. I thought I would give the GFLTC take on display modules. We don’t just use tables, we cover them, making them cabinets. It make it easy to setup and operate at shows. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

| | Legomodular standards
|
|
Watch this space. A conference call (sponsored by Mercator Software Inc.) was just held among GMLTC and BAYLTC and I believe we've reached a consensus on legomodular standards, for module size, and for the interface points. I don't want to (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

Perhaps my tables are a bit overkill for a tabletop Lego layout (actually, they definitely are) but they are not overkill for a legomodular layout where 70+ pounds of bricks are put on top of them in addition to the structures and rolling stock. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) The thing that everyone is missing is this... This isn't Earth, they aren't humans. They are Legoans and they come from LegoLand. (I've seen proof!) It's a classic Xenophobe reaction. Shame on you all! They are perfect as they are! Back to (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)

The PNLTC tables aren't too bad to make once you have the jig for the holes. I just have the guys at Home Depot cut the top wood for me (3/8 particle board for the NGLTC), their saw makes a much nicer cut the I can do on the driveway with my (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | Re: Proposed 'Legomodule' standard

I have been envisioning a different idea. Start at, for example, 4 bricks + 1 plate at the audience side of the module. Run 1-2 main lines there. At the back of the module, run 1-2 main lines at an elevation of 22 bricks +1 plate. That leaves 18 (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

I was under the impression that you were using 3/4" plywood, which is what I was told before. I am using 3/4" plywood on top of the banquet legs. I will check the height this evening and post it. FYI, 20 bricks + 1 plate + 1 baseplate = 7.748", so (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm not even certain. I think the banquet table legs are around 30 inches, 1/2 inch plywood, 20 bricks = track height around 36 or 38 inches... (I might be way off though...) JohnG, GMLTC (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) This is fine. Have you considered...lowering the scenery and keeping the track at the same level? However, I would tend to think that it would work either way...and 10 bricks high is buildable by more people than 20 (about 2/3 bricks as a (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
