 | | NELUG Meeting tonight!

Just a reminder, there is a NELUG meeting tonight at 7:30pm at Bison County, in Waltham, Massachusetts. If history has taught us anything, members will informally start the meeting at The Construction Site (www.constructiontoys.com) beforehand to (...)

I'll be coming (home) to New England for the holidays. I'll be arriving late the Friday 22nd and leaving Sunday the 31st. Meeting before Christmas is probably unlikely, but if that's the only time some folks could get together, I might be able to (...)

(...) Try printing it as a "negative" and applying it to white bricks. In other words - if your want white letters on a black background print the black background and let the white brick show through the clear letters.

It was a GREAT run (Three shows) and we got a TON of compliments for our production. This was my sixth (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.people)

Hey guys, Just figured I'd drop you a note to say I'm going onstage next week! I'm only in one of the four one-acts that are going up, and I only have a small-ish part... but still. It's my first preformance since I got to the U.S. I've been in (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.people)

I don't want to rekindle an old argument, or to start something I can't finish, but... Pshaw!

I'd say you guys did a great job for your first train show! I loved the buildings and liberal use of tiles. The only thing that bothered me was the unofficial stickers. They were nicely done, but by forcing yourselves to use just the brick (...) (24 years ago, 6-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.loc.us.ma, lugnet.general)

I'm not to into Lego trains (yet), so I cant really comment on them. The buildings, however, are fantastic. Love the architechture & set up. One thing I have noticed with *these* train show pictures (as well as pix from other shows) is that the (...)

(...) Well I can think of a couple reasons why we went with 4 wide tables (40.25"x40.25"). 1. It was more economical. If we were to do 3bp x 6bp you only get one table out of a 4'x8' sheet. This way you get 2 tables per sheet. 2. We liked the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ma)
