[  ... snipped ... ]




Just want to get everyone thinking about this again.  As usual, I have • only
questions :-) not answers...

Nothing wrong with questions, they usually raise points worth discussing.


Such as who is interested in doing this (hopefully all!) and who thinks
there is a possibility that it could be worked into their schedule (all?)
[Perhaps a mini rollcall answer to this ?]

This is a good idea.  I have it blocked off on my calendar and since I
signed up with GATS, I consider myself committed.


After reviewing reports from other Train shows, is 20' x 20' as Mike
suggested what we will aim for or are there other suggestions?  Should • there
be a tenative blueprint drawn up before deciding?

Yes.  The NELUG folks had a good plan where they partitioned their layout
off electronically assigning individuals sections.  Based on reading their
reports, it worked well.  Unless someone sees a problem with that, I think
we should do something similar.


Timetable for building tables?
Planning meeting? or email list for discussing stuff? or just discuss via
lugnet.org.us.nclug?
June seems far away now, but as hard as it has been/is to coordinate to • meet
I think it doesn't hurt  to start rolling  around ideas now.

We need to get going on this and I am the one who has dropped the ball.  I
need to touch base with my friend Chris Suich who (a) has a suitable shop,
(b) has a son who is into LEGO trains, (c) has offered the use of his shop,
and (d) has expressed interest in participating in the show.  I will say one
thing with respect to tables though - I really dislike the display boxes
that the Florida group uses and have no intention of building anything like
that.


Also, I am interested in knowing how everyone feels about adding custom
labels to creations.  Are any nonLego details okay?  I prefer that each
individual have this option.  I have no problem with the group deciding
otherwise as long as everyone is told this upfront before building • something
special for the show.  Any suggestions about what would complement what
others already have for the show  would be nice too.  Diversity is good,
chaos isn't.

I have no issue with non-LEGO decals.  I will be looking for some Santa Fe
decals myself soon (if I can get my Santa Fe train project going).


Don't know enough to ask more, but you guys know me... give me more
information and I'll inevitably ask more questions :-)

All for now.

(...) I'm interested. I guess I should block it off in my calendar. Of course should it happen to conflict with Brickfest, I might have to bail out, but I think if anything, Brickfest will be earlier next year. (...) I haven't read their reports (...)
