(...) Depends on what theme: Police and fireman have a graduated scale based on tenure. Medical staff have a similar but more progressive scale. Adventurers, Rock Raiders and Space work for a "finders fee". Castle only have scales on their mail. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)

Christopher, Just a quick question kind of off the subject. But on your pictures of your SD40-2 there were some black and red wires ((URL) What are those for? James Christopher Masi wrote in message <38DB335C.B5F154D@cm...ne.edu>... (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

Robin, I was wondering how you run the layouts when they're in cabinets? I noticed that at the GATS show your layout was against the wall, so you wouldn't be able to stand behind it. (or that's what the picture looked like) How do you change rolling (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

Thank you all for the suggestions. I don't have time to comment now on each one (things are a bit crazy in the office this morning). But I have printed all of the suggestions and will be taking them into account as I build my table. I do believe I'm (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

FYI, it's more expensive, but if you use birch plywood for the top/sides/girders, the table will be much lighter, stiffer, and stronger than using plain plywood or LDF/MDF. You could go all the way down to 1/4" birch plywood and still take an (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

Ben, It looks nice. It looks like you are using rounded off "FreeStyle" 2x3 bricks [1] on the cab and on the tender. I have been looking for those. I have only found one FreeStyle set that has them in blue, and that $20 set only has two of them. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
