I don't know the formation date for sure but I am pretty certain that PNLTC
was around when I first started hacking around with LEGO again in late 1997.

Their website has pictures from a show they did in October 1997.

OK, I changed the date there to say "(?) 1997-10?" for now.

1999-01-28
     GMLTC: Greater Midwest LEGO Train Club (U.S.A.)
I'd change this to something like "the minnesota gang gets prodded into
picking a name" or similar to reflect the informality, because the way it
reads now, it implies this is the formation date. It's not. It's more of a
formalization date than a formation date.

Hmm.

PNLTC 'organized' or, rather, met under the name in June 1997 so that
applications could be submitted for the Sept. and Oct. GATS venues.  We also
started building tables at that time.  Initial activity and pics were
graciously posted by Ben on his personal website.

Our first meeting was at Ben's place in Portland on a hot August Saturday.
Steve, Ben and I setup a small layout to test the dropped Kid's RailRoad (name
later adopted from Will Chapman) and a few special modules.  Originally 3
members now almost 30.  :)

thx for your efforts to compile this, Todd.
