Well, my station is a possibility
http://www.lugnet.com/~469/projects/station but it's fairly big & needs
about 10 studs clearance on one side & 24 on the other.

I'd like to be there for the main show weekend, but I'd probably only
available Saturday & Sunday. With the current ticket wars, I may fly up.

I can definitely contribute there - I have a N class loco
http://www.lugnet.com/~469/projects/n-class and also a P class almost
completed http://locopage.railpage.org.au/vline/p.html also have a couple of
container cars.

I also have a metroliner, a 3225 classic train, a "my own train" slightly
modified http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=7660 , 3 "my own
train" passenger cars, and a caboose, much of which others (closer) may
have, but they're here if you want 'em.

I'll have all the stuff available for that, but may not be able to help with
setup. Depends on timing, and how cheap tickets are 8?)

Well, if you want a bridge, and there's anyone out there with some technic
beams lying around unused (I'll use 'em!), feel free to use my arch bridge
design http://www.lugnet.com/~469/projects/archbr - I'm a bit short of
technic beams right now! It neads about 64 1x16s & 64 1x12s (more if you use
beams for the hangers). It may be a bit longer than you want. Alternatively,
I (or someone else??) may have enough to do a small truss bridge. I'll look
into it.

(...) How does this look? (URL) call it the black & white bridge 8?) There's only about 9 bricks clearance - I didn't know how much lower you're making the river tables. But there probably won't be enough space to have any boats going underneath 8?( (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
