A new group of LEGO train fanatics are organizing the "Greater Midwest
LEGO Train Club". Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the club currently
has a 13' x 15' layout built entirely from Lego bricks.
We have approximately 70 pieces of custom rolling stock, 20 buildings, 7
bridges and 2 tunnels, with many more pieces planned or 'in progress'.
The layout received the first place blue ribbon at the Great American
Train Show (GATS) in St. Paul, Minnesota December 19th - 20th, 1998.
The next scheduled show is this weekend, March 13th and 14th, 1999, in
La Crosse, Wisconsin. New features include a custom built passenger
train, and several new freight engines and cars.
The club is also working on a web site, which will hopefully be up
sometime in April. The address will be WWW.GMLTC.ORG.

| (...) I'll be watching for the new site to come up, and we'll set a link to it when it's ready. (Folks may have heard that BAYLUG is finally getting off the ground, and I'll be working on the Trains theme page, since we don't have a strict "LTC" (...)
