Randy: Divide 10,000 feet by 6 (3 cable runs down each side - inner, outer, aux power) That's still a lot of modules, I agree. Keep in mind some folks have used ZBT just for home use. Their modules

Bill, Anyone ever accuse you of being wired? I guess there are worse names one could be called huh? Loren

I have been making them out of single jacket multi-conductor cable (Alpha 1898/10C), 18 gauge 10 conductor. 2 pr for each inside and outside track, 1 pr for the Acc power and 4 for the DCC or user

All: I just posted the "new" prices to the zbendtrack.org website. My labor is the same, but parts costs went up about 8% on this latest restocking. Sorry. I'm started buying wire on 3,000+ foot

Jeff: I like your innovation. It would work fine. Electrical current doesn't worry about appearance, only the sufficiency of the conductor, connector and insulation. I work to insure the connectors I

Randy, Michael: My health is no longer an issue. But it did leave me months behind in almost everything, hobby or not. I''m due another $500 shipment of "stuff" tomorrow (so UPS says) so as soon as I

Anyone: I've been making ZBT cables for 8 years now, and in reasonable numbers for the last 5 years. There are just an amazing number of folks building ZBT modules, many of which are not part of

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

United we stand, divided we fall. My T module is not the most stable module either, but when we connect other modules to the 3 sides, we find they hold up quite well. Is this what we call strength in

Dave, You are absolutely right. By themselves they are as wobbly as a newborn fawn but, when connected to other modules, they work just fine. At NTS 2005 both of my modules supported modules without

For my modules, I use 1x2x48" drops, tied together at the bottom (pick a height) and the top (flush, just under the end's bottom edge of the module). Get wood from Home Depot, Lowes or lumber yard,

wrote: and I saw your module at NTS and loved your trestle work. I think your method of attaching bolts for when displaying on a table is great. However, when I look at your 4 foot pvc legs, I wonder

no Hello Pierre, The MidweZt HaulerZ enjoy options. That is why I made legs that screw into my modules. We like to display our modules on a table top for better viewing by kids and anyone else who

Dear Pierre: What we at the WIZkids have done is put T-nuts into the frame of the module. You also use T-nuts at the bottom of the leg to put in leveling screws. I personally used 2x2 oak for my legs.

Hi Pierre, I'd check with Rockler,The Woodcrafters Store, Lee Valley or one of the other online wood working suppliers for card or other folding table leg hardware. Cheers, Jay Greer on 3/27/06 6:45,

While I don't have any modules, I do a lot of other wood work. I would be concerned with using lag bolts over time as the holes will loosen and eventually strip. My preferred method would be to use a

Pierre, There are many different types of legs that folks here are using. If you are making wooden legs, then yes, a simple lag bolt (or two) through the wooden sides of the modules into the legs will

I cut 4 pieces of 1 x 6 long enough to fit inside the frame. 2 are glued and screwed against the ends and the other two are placed to be able to screw the leg braces into them. I use table leg sets
