The club is already inactive as club. 1000steine is running and guiding the fan
activity in Germany. Me and other (former?) FGLTC members join the
1000steine-land and other shows like the LEGOWORLD in Zwolle (NL). I am
convinced my LEGO train + town models have been presented to surly 100000+
visitors last year.
Without 9V trains I will display less. And I am not willing to promote TLC if
they do not even "support" me, by selling me track for 20 Eur per meter and
motors for 40$ per piece (these are the prices we have to pay here in Europe!).

Not me and I haven't heard of any other Co-AFOL in Germany who will (although
there are of course always minorities for everything).

Without 9V trains there can not be a LTC in Germany. Trains are called
"Eisenbahn" (= iron-railway) over here. A plastic system can't be a "Eisenbahn".
without Eisenbahn there can't be a Eisenbahn-Club (LTC)
Lego lost a huge supporter in me when the changed to blay. But I was still at
shows to promote my hobby and the LEGO idea of a system (but not the LEGO
Company). Without "Eisenbahn"-system there is not much to promote at all...
Leg Godt!
