I for one really enjoyed your setup. I especially enjoyed Dan's pics.
However, did not post a response because:
- I try not to do "me to" posts
- Although I am slowly getting interested, I haven't yet gone
over the edge and actually purchased a Lego train set. Therefore
my interest is a bit limited in the subject, certainly not
meriting a post. Setup like the GATS display ARE increasing my
curiosity, though...
Anyway, congratulations on a successful show! I for one look forward to
more of these types of displays in the future.
We all love ya, babe!
