March 12, 1-5. But May 12 would probly be good too :-) Couldn't hurt to book
it now! Seriously, it could be either the weekend of May 6 or 13 for the next
one.

I have no problems with it. Let's hatch a club! It was my understanding that
Dave Simmons was going to arrange the next BayLUG meeting in Albany. I just
hadn't heard anything further. But whatever we want to call this one is fine
with me.

I'm extremely limited in rolling stock, but will try to bring what I can. I
would like to try and put most of my effort into trains for awhile.

So are you bringing a few controllers then? Or do you need us to bring some?

I've never played with Bates' Layout program but will download it and play
around with it. If I come up with anything that looks interesting, I'll save
it.
Though she might not want to be a Trainiac and on the mailing list, Janet
Graff has neat Town stuff that would look really cool in a layout. Maybe if we
asked her *really* nicely..
