What are you proposing? A club on the scale of PNLTC where members build complex sections for a large layout or something on a smaller scale? I would be interested but at this time I can't contribute much as I don't have a train (yet, hoping to (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jul-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

(...) I'd like it to be as large as the PNLTC, but I don't think we have enough people for anything very large. Although it could be a goal to shoot for. (25 years ago, 26-Jul-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

I checked the Great American Train Show schedule. They're coming here October 30th. We could possibly do something for that. I guess we would need to start our club first. Jimmy (25 years ago, 2-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

Any idea what the exhibition cost is? I recently picked up a couple of train cars so I am hooked. Still don't have any track or engines but I suspect it is just a matter of time.

(...) From the web page, it says they pay you at least $50 and $400 for first place. They charge $6 to get in for non-presenters. It didn't say if there was an initial charge to display something. go to (URL) (25 years ago, 3-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

I have taken my son to the train show each of the last two years. Last year it was pretty lame, the year before it was pretty good. The number of layouts on display last year went down signigicantly, I don't know why. The show tends to be half flea (...) (25 years ago, 3-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

Replying to my own post ... Probably the single most important decision to made is on modular tables. To do this right means making a sound decision and learning from the two active train groups (GMTLC and PNTLC). Since I there is no way I could do (...)

I did not see the 4560 set in Sweden, only 4561. I'm not sure luggging a train set back would be very easy either! Those boxes are pretty large. I will take a look while I am there and let you know. I learned from my last trip, I will throw an extra (...) (25 years ago, 4-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral, lugnet.loc.us.nc)
