(...) After only wiping out a few of the track-side structures on the layout.... Gotta love that 8-wide overhang! The Challenger still needs some fine-tuning, this was its "world premier", since I had never actully run it powered. "Thanks" to all (...)

Well the whole NILTC club was very pleased ( and a few members surprised) to receive a visit by John Gerlach at our Thomas show today. He stayed for only a few hours but it was a real blast! The highlights included: a. Joint NILTC/GMLTC 8-wide (...) (21 years ago, 24-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org.niltc, lugnet.loc.us.il)

(...) I suppose it's up to us to change that impression when we give interviews. If we (collectively) make a conscious effort to say they are not just for kids, perhaps it will change over time? -Tim (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org.niltc, lugnet.loc.us.il)

(...) The article doesn't make more than the usual number of errors (BrickLink.com as a source for "LEGOS" ...) but I do wish the media would give up on the "adults playing with kids toys" angle, it gets a little tiresome. If some LEGO sets are (...) (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org.niltc, lugnet.loc.us.il)

(...) Ohh, I wish that was our problem :-) There's a mentally handicapped child who is at one of our shows every year. He really loves the trains, but is quite loud and disruptive - and his parents have difficult time controlling him. One of our (...)

We're so used to running our 8-wide trains - they require almost full throttle - we ran his (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org.niltc, lugnet.loc.us.il)

BUT - if you're an established member of an established train club, I don't see how running your (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org.niltc, lugnet.loc.us.il)

(...) What is the NILTC club policy on "guest trains"? If someone were to say, make a road trip, and brought a train (8-wide, of course) - could they run it on your layout? Great pics, btw - lots and lots of fun 'eye candy', and great work modelling (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org.niltc, lugnet.loc.us.il)

If you're ever in Eastern Mass, post something to NELUG and I'm sure we'll be able to get a meeting together fairly quickly. Jonathan (...)

Guessing at locations that would be about half way between the MichLUG membership and the NILTC membership, I would say Saint Joseph (49085) or Michigan City (46360) seems good. Is (...)

I noticed that you posted to NILTC as well. Perhaps (...) (21 years ago, 4-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.michlug, lugnet.trains.org.niltc)
