All sounds good. Just trying to figure out what I can contribute. My
Fabuland stuff may not fit in well with the layout, in which case I will
come up with some other constructions to complement what is planned -minimal
amounts, to be sure... Can't wait to see everyone's elses trains and
creations. Yes the point is fun.
Larry Pieniazek mentioned a handout given out by MICHLUG at GATS that he
and Scott Sanburn compiled from various sources and said it was available
upon request. Maybe this or something similar would be useful for NCLUG to
hand out too?
