The tables used by the NGLTC where built using the original standards published by
the PNLTC. They are a bit narrower (to fit the mini van) but are the same height
and use the same basic principle of connecting together. Only one table of the
entire group ever has four legs attached, the rest share at least one leg from the
other tables. I am working on a way to make some folding legs, since transporting
all those legs and bolting them on is becoming a pain. The nice thing is that they
are very sturdy and can handle any 4 year olds that break past our ropes.

| (...) Ropes? Huh?? ;-) The GMLTC lets kids get right up to our layout. Touching is discouraged, but it still happens. Yes, we get the occasional *crash*, but we can always rebuild.

| The PNLTC standard has been good to us. Transporting the legs, as James brings up, is a drawback, but they can be easily made with a minimal amount of materials beyond the scrap from the table top. And they are very sturdy. I've sat on the tables (...) (24 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
