We are a group of adult fans of LEGO in Utah. We regularly display a LEGO train layout at local model railroad shows with the Great Basin LEGO Train Club (GBLT&C). Their web site can be found here. Meeting times and other club info is regularly posted on this site.

GBLT&C Style Guide

2- All buildings should be modular in nature and fit on either a 10″ x 10″(32 Stud) or 15″ x 15″ (48 Stud) base plate.

3- The preferable method for roads is SNOT. See Section 8 below.

4- Members should plan on bringing their own tables following this style: http://www.michlug.org/resources/tabledrawings/ or make arrangements to use portions of other member’s tables.

5- Track Alignment: In order for the current LEGO train track geometry to be symmetrical all track must be on either the 5th or 21st stud.

6- Track Height: All track should be placed on a baseplate elevated by one plate (1/3 of a brick).

and then place a 1×2 inverted slope

on the base to make it a full 12 studs wide.

8- Snot Roads for 4 lane on a 48×48: Starting at the edge, 2 studs for the building to sit on, 6 studs of sidewalk that is 1 brick with tile on top. The road is 1 plate edge (white) 6 bricks per lane. Then a dashed line that is 1 plate 1×2 white and 1×4 black alternating. Then 6 bricks for second lane. Then 3 plates to make the center divider. Read this backwards to complete it out to the far edge.
