(...) These look nice, but definitely pricey at over $23 per set of four, even for a club like ours with a hefty war chest to spend. By comparison, I believe that the entire bill for supplies to retrofit all of our tables (currently numbering (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) Definitely a good idea. Problems are: 1. The museum has no more permanent layout space available (the last space went to some Lionel types last year). 2. This museum works with some heavy sponsorship relationships. People are always amazed (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.scltc, lugnet.org.us.lugola, lugnet.town)

(...) We went with folding legs we got from Rockler.com ((URL) , they bump the price up a little bit per table. But the time and space saving was worth the cost.

The designs look good. Why did you feel the need to make them heavier than previously designed tables? Have you experience an issue with tables not holding up to the weight of the layout?

A suggestion should be made to the SDMRRM that the LEGO® layout be a permanent feature of the museum, just like the O, N and HO scale layouts already are. Think of the publicity and recognition! -Harvey (22 years ago, 24-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.scltc, lugnet.org.us.lugola, lugnet.town)
