I extend my hand from one facet of our hobby to another. Mark Sandlin (man I can't wait till he wakes up) and I will build rolling stock for the PDX layout if I can get 2 "non Space" trainspotters (1) to contribute at least one 48x48 module each to the PDX Moonbase layout. This may seem a daunting task, making something that "isn't real", but I assure you it equals the challenge that a spacer faces when building something that neither blows stuff up or has rocket engines. Should more trainspotters agree to my proposal, I will do my best to fish out spacers to do the job. Reply to this thread if interested. I would arrange this deal with the Castle community (2), but we will be too busy burninating their huts and blowing up their sheep to build guarded pubs and such. (1) I use this term affectionately. Really, Ask Rick Clark or Dan Parker. (2) Eat laser, Rafert. ~ <<http://zemi.net/sidebar/bot001.gif>> ~ [ j o n ]¬ <http://zemi.net [zemi.net]>¬ <http://www.scibrick.org/moonbase/ [moonbase]>¬

		Re: Train builders, I have a proposition
Here's an update. I'll try to speak up over the crickets. I spoke to Holger Matthes via email about the "theme swap" (yeah that's the new term) and he's into it. Luggage willing, he might even make a Moonbase 1592. Now that would rock. Just sayin'. (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.space, lugnet.events.brickfest)

		Re: Train builders, I have a proposition
(...) This sounds like a lot of fun. I'd do it, if only to see what scary and completely unprototypical things you lot would come up with, except I don't have luggage space for a module, nor time to build one between now and then, unfortunately. But (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.space, lugnet.events.brickfest)
