Dear Loren:
You were at NTS 05, and saw what Rob Albritton did with his first
swiss layout. We need a module with a setup track on it, and since
I have the 2 T modules, I fugured the best thing I can do is make an
end module that is long enough for a set up track. Our modules are
also pretty flat, so I decided something with mountains would be
appropriate. It might take me a while to put it together because
the WIZkidZ have a special contest in the works, that might be
revealed in your next Z track magazine, or you will have to wait
until November to hear what it is. Rob Kluz knows about it and he
is very enthused about how the contest develops.
I only wish I had the talents you do with your tree's and other
scenery items. You are one of the best.
Rob A's swiss modules have mountains with no trees. It gives a
forced perspective that I like without taking up lots of space.
Thomas's foam method should help to keep the weight down, and allow
me to add water features.
However, spring is here, and the kids want me to put in another
Garden Railroad, plus a G and O scale layout in the basement of our
new house. I need to retire to get it all done.
That's enough rambling.

I will continue to use wooden legs, but will think strongly
about
using a foam base instead of a thin piece of plywood. I love
the
depth you are able to get with the foam. I have to make an end
module, but I plan on making it 2x5. Thank you for your advice.

Dave,
Your new end module that is going to be 5' long sounds intriguing.
Got
any special ideas for an end module that large/
