Huh? This is about the strangest post I have ever seen. Looking at the last post
about WAMALUG there are 15 replies (certainly some of those people aren't WAMALUG
members. Sometimes people have alot going on and do not post right away. Further,
there are alot of pictures to flip through. I have not even finished looking
through them.

I do not understand why you are crying sour grapes. We appreaciate the effort put
into the layout, we appreciate the effort put into the pictures, just wait and
maybe comments will be forth coming.

P.S. It took me several months to build my SD40-2, the 4565 modification, the tank
cars, the box cars, and the coach. It took nearly as long to make LDraw/MLCad
instructions, and it took more than 16 hours to put to everything together on a
web site. I didn't see any comments from you about my work.

Why has there been such apathy towards Wamalug's train shows?  In the past
month, there have been a total of nine messages from non-members about our
setups.  There has been absolutly no discussion, no critiques, and very little
praise.  Do you all just not care?  Does everyone think we aren't good enough
to even deign to speak to us?  Heck, we've even mentioned (twice) we
successfully had DCC in our setups, and there is hardly a peep.  I've seen tons
of messages asking how to do it in the past year, and when it *is* done, no one
cares.  I'm sorry, but since there seems to be no interest, I am seriously
considering discontinuing these types of posts.

As you may've heard, WAMALUG displayed a layout at The Great American Train
Show held over the weekend in Gaithersburg, Maryland.  It was a *huge*
success, and we tied for Third place (out of seven or so).  We had one of the
largest crowd draws, with some people hanging around for hours or revisting us
a number of times.  Anyway, some of the major highlights of the show included:

~ Digital Command Control of the trains!  This was fun, allowing us to
individually crash, er *control* the trains, even on the same loop!
~ Larger layout!  It was 120"x160", but this time we had a 120"x200" layout!
~ Motorized Crane!  Not only was it motorized, It like to do aerial
acrobatics!  Like, falling over...  ;)
~ Attack of the 50 foot Minifig!
~ Rich Schamus' Blue Streak and Citrus Express!
~ Long Metroliner!
~ People saying it was the best layout at the show!
~ The double wide Train Bridge!
~ A kid offering to buy my Castle!  After he was told it wasn't for sale, I
decided to price it at $40,000.  :)
~ The elevator in Rich's Tower plumeting to the bottom, eliminating the
annoying protesters on board...  :)

(...) Chris, I looked at your SD40-2 last week shortly after you announced it. I was busy at the time and couldn't write any comments. By the time I had the time to write comments, I couldn't view your page(1) and most everything I wanted to say (...)
