The Northern Illinois LEGO Train Club's show this weekend at High Wheeler
'02 went great!!  Here are some links to pictures taken by Eric Wackerfuss,
one of our newest members, he joined the club at the show.

Looks good so far.  I look forward to seeing more pictures.

There will be more pictures coming soon as people start uploading them to
the club BrickShelf folder.  We will also have links to pictures posted on
our website soon.  For now the site is at www.zacktron.com/niltc/ but it
will soon be moved to www.niltc.org - we own the domain name but no web
space to host it at yet.

The show was fun, but it took a tremendous amount of energy to set up.  We
also had to deal with a no-show that made us short a module, but thanks to
Ondrew and Brian's quick thinking by stretching track at the corners and
building ZNAP bridges on the fly :-)

They do indeed take a tremendous amount of energy.  One of MLTC's main issues
right now is trying to figure out how to reduce that amount.  Congratulations
to you all on figuring out how to deal with a no-show, it can be tricky.


The crowd was amazing, we were very popular there and people could hardly
believe it was all LEGO.

They are always suprised at all the LEGO.

So its official, we're a real club and not just a club in our minds :-)  And
we're growing, we proably gained 2-4 members at the show!!  There will be a
small show (Brian and Ondrew's stuff) in two weeks in LaGrange (more to
come), and we also have a show planned for June and are getting the details
ironed out.

I be sure to make it to the show in June.  I wanted to come Sunday, but with
the weather being so unfriendly, I just couldn't make the trip.

If you're in the Chicago area, there's no excuse NOT to join NILTC!!  Its
great fun. :-D
