Good point, I really wasn't thinking about how much a legomodular would
weight.

they definitely are) but they are not overkill for a legomodular layout
where 70+ pounds of bricks are put on top of them in addition to the
structures and rolling stock.

The PNLTC tables aren't too bad to make once you have the jig for the • holes. I
just have the guys at Home Depot cut the top wood for me (3/8 particle • board for
the NGLTC), their saw makes a much nicer cut the I can do on the driveway • with
my circular saw. So its worth the extra 50 cents a cut. Anyway a 4'x8' • sheet of
plywood won't fit in my van. Then I just use the scraps to build the leg
supports.

Have you built a table using 2"x4" for the edge supports? That would be a • very
heavy table I would think. You could definitely get away with something • smaller,
and if you using 3/4" plywood the 2x4s might be a little over kill.
