(...) 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)

(...) 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.

(...) NELUG is actually re-designing our tables for faster setup/breakdown at the expense of strength. We use mostly 40" square tables with a few half-width tables here and there. Our last layout was about 10' x 20' and just bolting legs onto (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) I was one of the people advocating much lighter tables, mind you.

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...)...

Hey John, This looks really nice. 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. Oh, btw, I really (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.town)
