Great pictures I love it!!!

I was just wondering if you all have any standards set up for Modular
railroading (Something similar to n-trak(1) for you model Railroaders)?

If so, is there somewhere I can find the spec's?  If not is there interest in
setting some standards for "L-TRAK".

1.  For those that don't know "n-trak" is a standard set for modular
railroading in "N" Scale.  For example most modules are 2'x4' with either 1 or
2(most common) sets of track set a certain distance from the front of the
module at the ends.  The track also sits at a specific height.  In all this
allows for modules to be assembled quickly and easily and even two modules that
had never been connected before could be connected if both follow the "n-trak"
standard.

I just think it would be neat if people could design modules that they can
bring to different events and just link into other modules without
modification.

(...) Most of our modules are 30"x45", 6 of the big grey baseplates. Mainline track height is 20 bricks plus 1 plate, outer track is 4 studs from the edge, then 2 studs between the tracks. We keep the 30" edges 20 bricks tall, so we can 'mix and (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains)
