I can help set up Thursday from 3pm onwards, but have no way to transport
tables, etc. I will be free Friday about 3pm onwards, and all Sat and Sun.
I really have very little track - 8-10 full circles from 4561s, but very little
straight track, like 4-6 boxes worth, if that (haven't had the need to buy any
yet, since I haven't started my layout).
