I've got most of the stuff I will need for the train history session, but there's a few items I'd like to borrow if possible.

Adrian, What you are asking for might be overkill. I would think some EMT conduit, a piece of tarp/canvas, and some rope to stretch the canvas tight should be more than enough. Portable, too. Basically, you would hang the mosaic from rope/cable (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.events.brickswest)
