Using this photo (sorry I don't know what program to use to overlay numbers) (URL) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hey Mark, thats a really nice, different application of the 1x2x3-panel-and-2x3 plates technique! I can see it bieng used for (URL) high nose diesel cabs>, it's not as deja vu as the 1 x 2 x 3 train windows, and of course, the colour (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I can't see how... I was under the impression that it would be easier to simply use stacked plates instead. Embedding a train base would solve a lot of problems with the motor connection issues, since the holes for mating would already be (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I see most of the modules are fascias for the raised table sections. This one (URL) shows me how you've supported the mountain. I can see the cubic structure - about every 16 studs? However, is that a stack of red 1x4 bricks at the middle of (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) OK, a bit bigger than 8-wide, but still applicable... I have used 6x24 bases for 4-wheel wagons, like these two brake vans: (URL) and (URL). I also have another brake van and six 32ft tube wagons (pics to follow soon). I convert the tanker (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Thank you everyone for the additional information. I just wanted to make sure there was not an additional special piece used to connect extra cars. (Seems a bit short sighted to me. But then again, LEGO is no longer making this set.) But the ball & (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I believe some builders use them embedded... but they are kinda short for most 8 wide cars.... I have a big stack of them myself because I don't use bases much but I can't bring myself to sell them yet. I think I will use a bunch for a factory (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains)
