Bad part was a several hour long brown-out that occurred. We could only run 2-car trains, and those (...) (21 years ago, 14-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) Good suggestion. I'm not sure I have the baseplates to keep it all together, but I'll think about it. I was given a large table in the basement to work this project on, so I have good room now. A brick ring is certainly feasible, if I have (...) (21 years ago, 14-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) I'm not sure I understand that. Are you saying use two separate tracks and put the "outrigger" on the outer track? I basically want to circle an object (in this case a large one) with the camera. I'm not sure how an arm on the outside helps (...) (21 years ago, 14-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains)
