While I could only be there on Thursday, before the show actually opened,
I knew just from the comments I heard from other contributors that it was
going to be a hit. I am available to help on the Hayward show and can commit
(or be committed).
I hate to say it but Legos beg to be touched by kids. So the plastic is a
good idea(almost every other display had them). I like the duplo's idea and
have access to a bunch of them(zoo theme). You only have to look at the
pictures to see that every childs eyes are alight with Lego. We can all
understand. We should also look into a skirt for the tables(either a cheap
plastic/paper thing or some sheets bought for just these occasions).
I also like the idea of Lego displays at different functions(historical
days, asian festivals, etc)

| (...) When the GMLTC displayed at the 1999 NMRA show in St. Paul, we received nothing but support from the "real" model railroaders. They would ask questions, make comments, point out mistakes (yea, we're not perfect!), and seemed genuinely (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

| Well, the NMRA show is now behind us. Kudoes to GMLTC and PNLTC who paved the way for LEGO Train Clubs (even if they have set the bar *very high* for those that folllow them.;-). Many 'regulars' from the NMRA circuit remembered them, and commented (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
