So far people have marked with:
- blue paint marker
- white labels with name/initials written in pen
- white w/ red stripe mailing labels (in small pieces)
- multi-colored metallic star stickers
- black dots
- initials in permanent black marker
- kitten stickers
Did I miss any?
:)

I think you got them all, except Steve R was using white paint dots I thought.
Scott, I am very sorry but that means you can only use Pink. :-) Or yellow,
or green...
Do we have to worry about what other clubs do? (just in case) If so it may
be good to do a master marking list somewhere!

I don't think it's a big concern. Odds are if several clubs are getting
together to do a layout, each group will have it's own area (if only for
ease of setup/teardown). There's also the fact that it's pretty long odds
of two people marking their track in the exact same way - someone on your
list has 'black dots' - I betcha that I could tell their track and James P's
track apart - even though he has 'black dots' too. They're going to be in
different places.
It might be something to keep in mind for ILTCO and their roving train
convention that's apparantly in the works, though.

Where'd you get the stickers? It's not easy being green... <GD&R>

Model paint.
It's not easy being Brown, either. ;)

Well, I gotta ask.. why AREN'T you using brown paint then? (there is no
color that's an obvious choice to associate with my name, but for people
that have one???)
Did you ever see that index card? One side says "green" in red letters, and
the other side says "red" in green letters...

Because brown doesn't show up very well against dark grey. Bright, easily
distinguished colors make sorting out what track belongs to who much faster.

Ya, ya, refute me with practical details. Just use Fluorescent Brown(tm) (1).
FUT o-t.fun
1 - I don't think there is such a color but there "could be"... mix
flourescent green and orange and see what you get!
