Today my son and I went to see the PNLTC Track being setup. I've
been taking pictures on and off, and have just uploaded them to
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=1102
for people who are interested in seeing a little more detail of
what is going on.

Cool layout! How long is that SNAP bridge from pillar to pillar?

The ZNAP bridge is 22 feet long and is a true suspension bridge. The end
pieces are weighted with 20 pounds of pennies each! A big WOW to Wayne for
building this monster!

One small 'nit' to pick: That's not a "suspension" bridge, it's actually
a "cable-stayed" bridge. Similar idea, but different implementations. A true
suspension bridge would have two (or four) main cables, with
vertical 'suspenders' between the main cables and the bridge deck. (I had to
check with a friend of mine who designs bridges for a living...)
Yea, I'm a geek -- I know... <grin>
It's certainly an impressive bridge - that has to be one of the longest, if
not THE longest, LEGO bridge I've ever seen!
JohnG, GMLTC - our longest bridge was about 2 feet!

Dear LEGO:
How much to buy straight track by the case?
( http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=11140 )
I'm *sure* the GMLTC would be HAPPY to buy a case or two...

That's what, 48 or 64 boxes per case? If they'd give us a bulk discount
worth looking at, I'd want a case myself.

Well, I would just *have* to throw in another "me, too" to that one.
At 40" per box and 48 boxes per case, that is 160 feet per case. I would
definitely want to get about that much to make a really good switching yard.
