I must admit, not yet being a full throttle train fanatic I must have missed
something at BW02. Why does it have to be one club organizing the train stuff
at BW03. Wouldn't it be great if we could get 4 or 5 clubs together and fill a
whol tent by itself for 2 or 3 days? What about going for a world's record in
Guiness? It would certainly prompt Lego to get involved if just such an effort
was planned to be big.

I absolutely agree that the train layout should be more than one club.
The tent probably isn't big enough to set a world record for length of
track though (PNLTC set a record a couple years ago in a much bigger
space). It might be possible to set a record for size of complete layout
with scenery, though that would mean that would be all that's in the
tent (since PNLTC did a pretty good job of filling the tent with train
layout last year). We might have to work really hard to beat the record
on number of bricks used in a LEGO train layout (the GMLTC layout uses
quite a few more bricks per square foot than any other LEGO train
layout).

Frank,

To set the record straight The PNLTC was not at the BW03. Dan Parker from
the PNLTC ran the pavillion but the large layout was done by SCLTC.
