A couple of people have shown interest in doing a train layout at

MARSFIELD - NSW. June 8-10, 2002 at the Epping Boys High School, Cnr Epping
Rd & Vimera Rd, Marsfield. Open 10am-5pm (Sat/Sun/Mon). Admission $8/$4/$20.
Organised by the Epping Model Railway Club Inc.
(see http://news.lugnet.com/loc/au/?n=7727 for more)

The proposed layout is here, based on work by Ross.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=92262

What I'd like now is some firm commitements of buildings (freight yard,
Station, downtown...) and commitments of time on the weekend for
setup/running and packdown from anyone. It is a long weekend and even though
it is still six months away the more time spend building and preparing, the
better. If you don't live in Syd and would still like to contribute
buildings or rolling srtock (even if just a carriage with your club's banner
on it) please do! We'll probably be able to refund any postage it takes to
get your model here and back.

The show people expect to see the layout before June, so we should consider
a  March dry run.

The tables are in progress (complete with a shorter set of legs for a
dropped table river area).

Thanks in advance.
James (who is probably just bugging everyone with this, but anyway...)

In lugnet.loc.au, James Howse writes all manner of good stuff about a prospective train show. Don't see myself manning a stand (being such a delicate flower, and not being a trainfiend) but there are some things I can do: kick in some dough provide (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
