(...) The 1x1s at the end have been the problem for us... but we were trying to use wing plates rather than piecing together using smaller plates. That may be a dead end, not sure. (...) Thanks for posting, it explains a lot. But not ALL, the (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I've fed these ideas into my melting pot of track bed plans. I'm building 12-14 wide trackbeds for a new modular scenic layout. I began with the packs of grey and dark grey plates, one pack doing either one straight plus one curve or one (...) (19 years ago, 14-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
