(...) The last layer where we would normally brick over the top instead gets a layer of whatever plates are available. Then we use black and grey bricks to get the rest of the height. -John (27 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

And the BayLTC layout will be using the upper height exclusively, as our layout will include the optional low track at 4 bricks+1 plate. JIG: Where the heck did you guys get THAT MANY small black and gray plates? I can't imagine how I am going to (...) (27 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

(...) There are two 'standard' heights: 29 3/4" table + baseplate + 10 bricks + 1 plate 29 3/4" table + baseplate + 22 bricks + 1 plate (extra plate is used to represent 'ballast' under the tracks) The higher one should be close to PNLTC / WAMALUG (...)

(...) I don't know who buys the most LEGO, or who has the most LEGO - but I think we can safely say that there are some pretty huge collections being represented on LUGNET and especially here in .TRAINS!

(...) discussion thru threads before now :-/. But I can say I support the idea and am figuring out now how to make our layout compatible with the modular one. ...We are using table top layouts based loosely on the PNLTC standard.

Hi Guys, I just added a search engine to the PNLTC web site and thought I would pass on my experience. I went to Atomz.com and they have a extremely easy way to add a search engine. You "register" with them, Name, Address... and then give them the (...) (27 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains.org)

Well, it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. I think that legomodular could be claimed as deprecating a brand more than LEGO(tm)-Modular could. Either way, it would seem very silly to have their legal department crack down on a couple (...) (27 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

(...) When I coined Legomodular I left the hyphen and capitalization out on purpose. Not really sure why except it seemed more suitable. Putting the hyphen back in emphasizes use of LEGO as an adjective. If there is a problem with it though, you (...) (27 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

I think that Lego is getting pretty ridiculous on their protection. Lego-modular describes exactly what it is. What else should it be called? Modular train tables using ABS automatic binding bricks? That opens the door for people to use rivtek and (...) (27 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

I'm certainly not up on all the intricacies of trademark law, but I would think that there is a difference between what you use to describe your layout, and the name applied to a published standard.
