(...) When you do get around to building it, Frank, I hope that you decide to build it modular. That way you could transport it to a show or to some event some day. Permanent layouts are nice, but can only be fully appreciated by a few. Pics on the (...) (24 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

I have a fairly good size layout in my basement with the following Track Designer image: (URL) it's primarily a town display that happens to include trains, but I felt the overall placement of the loops worked well.

I hope you get around to building it too! This is a great layout. It's rather difficult to create a large layout, doubly difficult to make it interesting (and not just look like a double loop). I always find it particularly diffucult to resist the (...) (24 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I was in charge of powering the train for the 3000+' attempt at PNLTC's G2K World Record attempt. We used 10 or 12 power supplies on a single very long track. As long as the polarity is set right, we detected no ill effects. The train speed (...) (24 years ago, 3-May-01, to lugnet.trains)
