Dave? I think your problem was consulting Zefram Cochrane about the standalone power source for your module.

Does Dr. V. own a DeLorean?  Everyone knows that Zefram Cochrane won’t be born until 2030.  :D

I just got a $40 store credit from them. He hopes to have the new MDF modules up this weekend on the site.

This is why I only use spline roadbed on all my T-Trak modules  :trollface:

I thought I wouldn't mention it here, since lightweight seems to be a main concern, but my subroadbed on ALL my modules and layout is splined also.  Not only inordinately strong and stable, but tremendously sound-deadening too.

Cheerio!

All I see is a box with an 'accept' option - no other choices.

Saw my $40 credit when I ordered an MDF double-bridge module, but the credit disappeared at the point of sale and now it's gone; was charged full amount. Trying to get that re-established. I may have to call him since the website didn't do its part.

Why not just glue up the necessary thickness in foam and then glue/attach the T-Track ends to it mates up properly?

Because it'll get beat to hell in the car on the way to the show. Or on the way home.

Also, you won't have anything solid to attach your leg bolts to.

The way to go is 3/4" plywood with 2" foam on top. Plenty of meat to put your legs into there.
