Todd, I have considered smaller modules as an option - the size would be around 10.5 inches to fit a single 8' table. It hasn't happened yet though.

Some of us have seen out if spec modules, e.g. one about 4" wide, to cover a gap.? This was at a National N scale convention.? If for your personal space, remember, it's your world:)

I have space constraints that require that the sides of the outer tables must abut the end of the crossing table. I guess I'll live with the gap.
Thanks for the response. Geoff

The quickest and easiest way to deal with a U shaped layout is to butt the tables together with the middle table end up against the left leg table (for example) and the right leg table end butted up against the side of the middle table. I suspect you are talking about a standard T-TRAK loop layout on single tables (not double wide tables and large corners and junctions. The mismatch of measurements you mention are why you never put the middle table/s between the end tables. IF there are 2 tables lengthwise between the end tables they can be gapped in the middle with the modules spanning the gap to get a useful length.

I'm curious how others deal with a U-shaped layout, with an 8' table between the two side tables.? An 8' table is 96" long.? 8X of standard length modules is 97.64".? Having the 8' table between the two side tables means the layout on the 8' section will be 1.64 inches too long, and will push the vertical parts of the U off the side tables, or it means that the tables will have a 1.64 inch gap between them, making the underlying table somewhat less sturdy.
One option is a pair of special, slightly short modules.? Has anyone dealt with this issue in another way?
Thanks for any suggestions.? Geoff Dunn, Albany NY NTrak
