You don't need 10 people to do a successful train show. It helps but it
isn't absolutely necessary. We here in North Carolina (NCLTC) have done a
most of our shows with 3-5 people contibuting to the layout. We have some
additional help with set up and tear down but the core group of builders is
actually pretty small.
There is no rule that says you have to have a 20'x30' layout for it to be a
success. Our next layout is scaling back a bit, it will be 8'x18' but it
will have some new features that we are pretty excited about.
