I did, check the SW newsgroup for my report in Raleigh. Called "12:01a TRU" I knew the Cary one was going to be open, but I didn't want to brave the journey. So I just bet on the one in Raleigh bein open. Good thing too. Frank Filz wrote in message (...) (26 years ago, 3-May-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

I popped into the Cary TRU at midnight to see what was up and pick up some Lego. Just curious if anyone else made it? They didn't even have all the sets out... Frank (26 years ago, 3-May-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

(...) 4'x6' could fill up pretty quickly. Especially with trains. I had a 4x8 and had to add a 2x3 and 3x8. I would add more, but I'm out of room. I still have space for buildings, but I'll have to build up eventually. Jimmy (26 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

I would really like to finish off half of my attic to be "my room" per se. A place where I could set up a nice town layout (4'x6' maybe) and display some of the other models that I have built.
