Using this photo (sorry I don't know what program to use to overlay numbers)
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/bdarrow/PackingMountain/packingb1.jpg
the tables sizes (32x32 baseplate standard) are as follow:
Level One - the first table (with the nuts and bolts) is 4x8, the table
directly behind is 4x6 (we call these "shorty tables") and then at the far
end are two 4x6 shorty tables placed vertically side by side. This gives
Level One a footprint of 8x14 baseplates.
Level Two - the closest table is a shorty 4x6 connected to a 2x2 and lastly
a 4x4.
These were all tables sizes that the club had used in other layouts and I
just adapted them to my idea. I made the shorty tables last year since I
wanted something I could haul in my SUV since the clubs 4x8's were too long.

| Brian, Thanks for the photo documentry! I was wondering if you had time could you label the table sizes? Maybe super impose the sizes on the image ((URL) Did you custom make the tables for this project or did your tables sorta dictate the shape of (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains)
