Somehow, 65" doesn't sound right to me. Whole baseplates would be best, no?
If you are going to go that long, why not bump up to 80" so that you can use
standard hollow core doors for table tops. It would be an inexpensive

| (...) If we just use the grey baseplates, 45x60 or 45x75 would make the most sense. But, our trailer is 76 inches wide, with a door 72 inches wide. With the 65 inch length, we can put the racks into the trailer sideways, and still have enough room (...) (24 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
