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 duffle bag (empty) in my luggage to haul any
loot back home with me!

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 • a
module of 20K-40K bricks, I think the GMTLC modules are out of the • question
but I have looked at the PNTLC web site and think their ideas have a lot • of
merit.  Going with someone elses standard makes a whole lot of sense to • me.


I agree with Mike, lets go with the PNLTC tables (I think the California
folks are going to use this standard also). If we can get together sometime
to do an assembly line construction, I'd be happy to pay for a share of the
materials. I could probably set the tables on top of my current set up, or
just replace it. A group of us could probably knock together a bunch of
tables in an afternoon.

As far as train stuff to actually supply, I've got 2 pr switches and a • horde
of track, 2 controllers (probably soon to be a 3rd, I'm probably going to
bite for one of the new trains (Mike, if the version without controller is
available in Sweden, I'd be interested in you picking me up one, looking at
the parts I think I'd be interested in 2 but I don't need 4 controllers)),6
motors (currently my two large engines use 2 motors each), quite a few • cars,
and I could easily cover several modules with structures and scenery.

Tomorrow is no good for me.  Next week would be good as I am on vacation • all
week.  Not going anywhere but not going to work either!


Tomorrow doesn't work for me either.
