2.  Get some Birch faced plywood.  It has a closed grain that will take
primer and paint well, or if that is too expensive, just get some plain old
plywood.  Make sure to use primer if you use the plain stuff, so that the
grain will be hidden.

Build On!

With all the talk of Lego train tables and layouts, I'm pleased to say • that
I will be building my first set of tables this weekend. I'm using the • PNLTC
standard plywood table plans as found at
http://www.pnltc.org/Modular_Table.html and
http://www.baylug.org/zonker/tables/building.html.

These tables will be for use at home with my "4558-less" train collection
and town gear. I will be using one sheet of plywood to build one small and
one large table.

1. Beyond what Ben has posted on the baylug.org site, does anyone have any
other tips for ease of building? I'm purchasing the materials on Friday
evening, doing the cuts with a friend that night, then continuing on
Saturday.

2. What is the best wood for the table surface? I will be painting the
surface using the paint formulas from • http://www.pnltc.org/Tint_Formula.html
. (Have not decided on green or gray yet. Leaning towards green...)

3. Can someone point me to some pictures of the "Legomodules" that the big
standards discussions have been about?

Thanks in advance,

Bryan Kinkel
