This works for us but the overall design allows for a multitude of arrangements and optional sizes within the modular concept. (...) (...) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains.org)

If the tables move a little bit, we just give them a shove back in place. A few small table gaps (...) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains.org)

In lugnet.trains.org, Philippe Label wrote: (snip) A quick note...

A few things : For several LOWLUG events we needed tables. In the end we settled for tables exactly 2*3 32*32 baseplates. Reason : these still go through a normal door and are still easily carried by one person. The legs are whatever you want, (...) (20 years ago, 12-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains.org)

We all know that different LTCs around the world have different sized tables. NILTC uses 40x30, GPLR uses 30x60, IndyLUG uses 40x80, NBLTC uses 25x50, etc. There are previous more general discussions of train tables, e.g. (URL) interested in the (...) (20 years ago, 12-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains.org)
