The preliminary page for Lego-modular standards is up at: http://www.sirius.com/~latha/lego/modules/standards.htm In the near future, I plan to post pictures detailing how the lattice structure is made from 2x4 bricks as well as the optional 2x6 style. Over time, I will document all stages of module construction and show all the building techniques to speed up putting these things together, including easy ways to install roads in towns, control boxes, etc. The building instructions are not up yet, as I need to make some more examples on the modules I have at home for pictures.

But I can say I support the idea and am figuring out now how to make our layout compatible with the modular one. ...We are using table top layouts based loosely on the PNLTC standard. An observation I (...) (24 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

Is there going to be a standard size car/rolling stock standard? i.e.,clearance on all tracks for something 8x44x14 (or whatever) I would think that this would be just as important as standard track interfaces and such, as this is going to be the (...)
