I will not have any tracks enter the station. The tracks will come across outside the station, which will allow me to move the station much easier. Come to think of it now, I might want to just slide the back out another 32 studs and see how it (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

I sympathize with your "end-of-station" pondering. I graveled with that issue for my mere two story monorail track as the front transitioned to the side, then on to the back. How many parallel tracks will enter your station? Any thoughts on the (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

Plus, we never want to give the impression that we are from Lego. Wearing the Lego Logo on shirts might give that impression. On the other hand if we wear a club logo then we can get away displaying signs that advertise Lego. Or at least its a (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

WOW, the NMRA show has made for a big thread. Speaking of thread... Shirts/Hats/etc. I vote for shirts. I agree with Tom M.--shirts are more readily identifiable at a distance, and all the same color is appropriate too. If you mix and match, no one (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
