Hi All: As more and more people start to construct Z-Bend Track modules, the question of legs keeps coming up. The Z-Bend Track standard itself does not...

Hi Bruce, I'm new here too, and am starting a 2'x4' module as my first module. I'm still researching legs before I actually start the module, But I really want...
