14 tables, each 40" x 65" (128 studs x 208 studs). Total layout dimensions
should be 672 studs x 1040 studs. Low end will have tracks at 8 (10?) bricks
above the baseplate, high end will have tracks at 20 bricks above the
baseplate. Tentative plans are to have mountains 50 to 60 bricks high at the
'high' end of the layout.
This is all still in the planning stage, we haven't even figured out what
might go where. But, we know it's going to be fun to build!!

| Somehow, 65" doesn't sound right to me. Whole baseplates would be best, no? If you are going to go that long, why not bump up to 80" so that you can use standard hollow core doors for table tops. It would be an inexpensive solution... Build On! John (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
