Is anyone interested in a newsgroup to discuss creating tables for layouts?
Tom Stangl and I had a conversation about it the other day, and were
interested in seeing open discussion between clubs on how everyone builds
tables. This could help disseminate best known methods people have
discovered, and also inform others of how _not_ to make tables. It could
also be of help when clubs try to link up for joint shows.

Thoughts?

Tom thought of the newsgroup lugnet.trains.presentation.hardware. He
suggests lugnet.trains.presentation.* could have other subgroups which cover
other topics related to putting on shows.

Perhaps this is better for lugnet.trains.org?

It would be nice to have a single document that captures the different techniques that various clubs have used for modules. And with that acompaniing pros & cons list by the clubs that use each respective technique. This would be handy for new clubs (...)

(...) Ok here is a basic write up of the new NGLTC tables. Just gives a good overview of what we came up with. (URL) J. Trobaugh North Georgia LEGO Train Club (URL) (21 years ago, 22-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
