(...) Did you see my most recent update to the part? I added 11 holes and opened the end. At first I opened the whole end. Then I thought well there is only 4 studs of usable space on the end any way. So I made a 4 stud opening. (URL) picture. Dave (...) (20 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I suggest 5 for the width (hey, half stud offset!), in case someone is swivelingright up to the edge and is using this inside an 8 or larger wide creation. (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I’m an 8 wide guy so I’ll throw my opinion in here. I began building 8 wides because I wanted to have the freedom to build as wide, as long and as realistic as I possibly could. For those reasons alone I don't use train plates. The 2x4, 2x6, (...) (20 years ago, 11-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)
