 | | NMRA show (the first of many?)
|
|
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)

| | BayLUG/BayLTC next meeting? (discussion)
|
|
We haven't picked a date, and we probably should. What dates are good/bad for everyone? September would fit into the "quarterly" schedule, leaving us to try to have a winter meeting between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We had two meetings last year, (...)

Not wanting to leave folks names out; Friday, Fred Yokel visited, and Tom McDonald helped me with the booth duty all day (Big Help!), while Tom Stangle showed up in the afternoon to bring in his freight warehouse.

(...) These are the ones we have to keep eagle eyes out for Sat/Sun, or we'll be rebuilding a LOT of displays. Putting the freight train on the outside is a better idea, as we'll run it slower, so a derail shouldn't hurt as much (and it keeps my (...) (24 years ago, 5-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

I'll be showing up at the hall by 9am. Can someone bring in some plastic tablecloth (very lightweight, solid color(s) please.) I'll bring the staple gun, and a staple remover. ;-) ** We have a 50' perimeter, more if we want to overlap a bit, to get (...) (24 years ago, 5-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

I looked at the conference web page and admission is $100 (+$34 membership). I wanted to come by and see the layouts one one day but that admission price is too steep for me.

(...) Do you folks have some sort of 'skirting' to go around the tables? If not, find someplace that sells 'el cheapo' plastic tablecloths (party supply store? Wal-Mart??) and use them. They won't cost too much, and it will help add a 'professional' (...) (24 years ago, 4-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Hi, guys...I just looked at Yifun's pictures (Thanks, Yifun) and I'm wonderign what happened to the built-up modules that we worked on?

No, I meant clay bricks to prop the low tables up to the right height ;-) If any of you early guys can bring a bunch of 2x4s bricks for under the table legs, that should work fine. They can handle the weight of the table. Just bring some cardboard (...) (24 years ago, 4-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

I just posted the pictures I took for the layout stuff: (URL) have tomorrow off, so I will be dropping off 3 32x32 and 5 16x32 blue baseplate around 9am. and probably stay awhile if anyone need help on stuff. Do we need clay or something? Tom (...) (24 years ago, 4-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Hi Zonker, I deleted the "its not". The thanks only refers to text stolen for the handout, not general assistance like module design. Added "custom" before designed.
