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

In the near future, I plan to post pictures detailing how the lattice

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.

That's why I personally am pleased to see layouts (...) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
