of that size.

Actually, I believe the Jeep set is by Best-Lock, an England based clone
maker. They have a Jeep license.

I'm interested. I think there already is a NELUG (NE for north east), but we
could have a HuskerLUG, or NebLUG, or something like that.
I live in Omaha, and have been playing with the Moonbase Project lately, but I
like many (all?) themes.
Hope to hear from you sometime.
Peace and Long Life,

People of Nebraska, very few members are located in our small, boring state.
I think the fact that less than 20 messages sit in this catagory proves it,
but I would like to start a NELUG (or something like that). I don't know
where it could be held, but this is really just to see if many people would
be interested. Please anyone even slightly interested reply to this post or
e-mail me.
Please,
Tyler Hiemke

I live in Omaha, Nebraska and am looking for great deals anywhere and would
like to participate in some shows! I think it'd be wonderful if we could
get a group going from Omaha and Lincoln and anyone else who can make the trip.

I am willing to provide a place to meet but only after the new year, it is
going to get buzy here. As for interchangeable modules I think this is a good
idea the The Pacific Northwest LEGO® Train Club has a site telling how to make
tables and specifications, http://www.pnltc.org/ToolSpec.html. These tables
can be put in any layout and size, and if we corisponded by E-mail or
lugnet.com we could orginize almost everything.

Ok guys, here is the way that I see it...
We have two or three people from St. Louis who are interested.
We have a couple of people from Kansas City who are interested.
We have one or two people from Kentucky who are interested.
It seems like we have enough people to organize something, however, meeting at
one place in person is sort of out of the question at this point. (however, if
we have enough interest now, I could be wrong). I would tend to think that a
regional group based on interchangeable modules would be the only realistic way
that we could ever get anything off of the ground. That way each city (??)
could work on its own thing, but yet we could still come together at shows and
other things of the sort. I will be more than happy to provide a place to meet
that is centrally located, however, my home will not be done until late april
(weather permitting... hopeing for warm dry weather myself). I will basically
have a entire basement to do with as I wish. But comming together from such a
large area won't be too practical too many times a year.
I honestly don't know, I do know that I would like to see something happen. I
don't want this to die out. If other areas can do something of the sort, why
can't we here? Anyways guys, let me know what you think. We'll figure
something out!
