It's more of a guideline than a rule...

GFLUG BUILDING STANDARDS

While we certainly encourage creativity and out-of-the-box building, there are a few recommendations to bring our builds together at shows.

GFLUG TRACK STANDARD

Mainline & Ballast

  1. Tthe GFLUG standard is a double 9v mainline on a 32x32 stud plate with the track located 4 studs clear from the two sides. This applies to any tunnels, platforms, posts & poles, trees, bushes, or anything else placed near the mainline tracks.  This allows us to run any 6-wide, 7-wide, and 8-wide trains. 
  2.  Items such as unloading docks or platforms (and stations) with narrow clearances should be placed on a siding that is separate from the mainline track. 
  3. The track is ballasted, raising the track 1 plate above the baseplate.
  4. Track is official LEGO 9v
  5. L-Gauge track Specification:  http://www.L-Gauge.com

TUNNELS

Layout Tunnel and Track Clearance

The GFLUG uses a 12 studs wide (i.e. 2 studs off the ties, on each side) by 14 bricks high track clearance on straight sections of track (see image). On curved and switching track sections, add one more studs to each side for a total of 14 studs wide (i.e. 3 studs off the ties, on each side). Please note that this clearance only applies to main line track
