JIG:  Where the heck did you guys get THAT MANY small black and gray plates?
I can't imagine how I am going to put the road ballast on my entire layout,
so I will start in one area and slowly work my way across as I add to my
collection, but that is a tremendous amount of plates.  Sure, Conan has a
huge collection, but still, that seems a high number of plates to have even
in such a large collection, unless you bought heavily in certain sets that
had the parts you needed.



The last layer where we would normally brick over the top instead gets a layer
of whatever plates are available.  Then we use black and grey bricks to get
the rest of the height.

(...) So to get our 20 bricks + a plate we have: Baseplate + 19 bricks + 1 plate (usually something big like 6x8) + 1 brick... Yea, it's cheating, but it works! ;-) JohnG, GMLTC (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
