I have nothing built except for two steam engines. (both lego design).
I can start building whatever tonight.  I can meet pretty much any day • this
week.  I do have 3 tables that could be donated. 4x8', 2x3', and 3x8'.



Excellent - when I hear back from NHVRY and how much space we have we'll
make a decision on whether to use your tables or the ones from my office.
Do your tables have baseplates on them?  Are they some number of baseplates
long and wide?

I am on my way to Boston (but stuck at RDU due to air traffice control in
Boston) and will return late tomorrow night.  I could meet over lunch on
Thursday or Friday (possibly Wednesday if that is the only day that works
out).  As usual, meeting in the evenings is a possibility for me but I'll
have to wait until 8:30 PM or so after my kids go to bed (especially after
being gone for two days).

Here is what I have built right now:

Trains
------
Black and White Metroliner-like train
(http://www.nclug.net/members/mw/trains/passenger.htm)

Bunch of MOC freight cars, most pictured here -
http://www.nclug.net/members/mw/trains/freight/index.htm

4565 alternate steam engine model with two MOC passenger cars

Four car Airport Shuttle

LEGO sets 4563 x 2, 4559, 4552, 4549, 2126, 4525, 4536, 4539, 4554

Other stuff I could build:

LEGO sets 4536, 4537, 4544, 4555

Town:
------

I don't have much put together right now although I could construct some
stuff if neccessary.  I do have the small city block scene
(http://www.nclug.net/members/mw/smalltown.htm) along with a McDonald's
restaurant I was working on over the weekend.  I have lots of stuff that I
could put together (fire stations, police stations, MetroPark, Gas 'N Wash
Express, some Shell promos, etc) that wouldn't take long to build.

Track
-------
I actually took a quick inventory yesterday.  I don't have nearly as much
straight track as I thought I did and I have far more curves than I will
probably every use.  I also have three sets of points and four cross tracks.
I also have a fair amount of monorail track if we decide to set that up (I
think we should) as well.


I propose the following:  If I don't hear back from NHVRY on how much space
is available I will physically go out there on Wednesday afternoon and try
and measure it (probably from the outside) myself.  Once we have a space
idea, lets meet up for lunch on Thursday or Friday and sketch out a layout.
I have Track Designer running on my laptop so we could actually set up a
rough layout to get  a estiamted track count.

LMK!

(...) Not now, but I can fill them. Baseblates are 10"x10". The 8'x4' can have 4 1/2 by 9 1/2 base plates. You can do the math for the rest. (...) I can build stuff pretty quick, just tell me what to build. I can also build some decent passenger (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us.nclug, lugnet.loc.us.nc, lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

Oh, another thing I could contribute: The two small modules from my castle (see (URL) for pictures) could easily be made ready for use on a train layout this week (one module just needs to be topped off, and both modules could use vegetation and (...)
