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? We have actually been trying to make our tables even lighter (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains.org)

XFUT to trains.org... I can testify to the strength of these tables. They're size compatible with other 30x30 and 30x60 tables but a lot stronger (and heavier...)... We have used these in several shows now and are getting faster and faster at (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.us.michlug, lugnet.trains.org)

It preserves all of the key features of the original, but in addition to freeing up space it will also free up a lot of elements (all those windows, railings, blue slopes, etc) for future projects.
