Ya, I've been eyeing the whole classic train line myself. Being a space
head, I'm not sure why those sets are so appealling.

I too thought about going to Brickswest, but finances are a little sparse at
the moment. I would rather spend the money on bricks than airfare. Maybe I
can make the next one. It would be nice to roll it into a business trip :-)

I am always willing to get together with anyone who is interested. It just
seems like there aren't very many people in the area who are vocal LUGNET
readers. There were a few early on, but I don't know what ever became of
them. I'm in the north metro Denver area. If anyone feels like a
get-together, let me know.
