Here's a video segment used by an Ithaca, NY television station during our most
recent show at the Finger Lakes Rail Fair:
http://news10now.com/content/story_links/?ArID=17107&SecID=33
A partial transcript is also at this address, including this statment by the
video journalist - "But it's the Lego train layout that stole the show."
This was the second year we did this show, with a 16' x 24' layout.
We had a blast. Check it out.

LEGO Users of Central New York; LUCNY...
...will be displaying our latest buildings, rolling stock, automated switches,
modified track geometry, stock LEGO train kits, etc. at the 21st Annual Oswego
Valley Railroad Association's Train Show in Fulton, NY on November 8th and 9th.
The Oswego Valley show is a nice medium-sized show with a light-hearted and
family oriented theme. The title of the show is listed officially as the "21st
Annual Christmas Town Express Model Railroad Show."
We're looking forward to greeting all our local and out of town LEGO enthusiasts
who wish to stop by. We'll have lots of opportunities to show you our latest
creations and we'd be happy to run your 9v trains, either 6 or 8 wide or our
~12' x 20' layout.
Show hours are 10a-5p on the 8th, and 10a-4p on the 9th. Parking's free, and
there's a nominal admission fee. Come out and enjoy the cozy venue, with an
emphasis on family and trains.
Thanks,
Ed McGlynn
LUCNY

Galidor sets as I see it aren't really Lego sets. They're action figures. So I
agree.
The two I currently have, have images in our brickshelf account here:

have mech creating possibilities.
