The 6-tracklength width of the tables is indeed a fundamental issue as it essentially determines the number of parallel lines without adding extra tables. Member Will Chapman used gargantuan 40x90inch tables for a few years before PNLTC formed. At (...) (27 years ago, 31-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains.org)
