We had a great time at the NHVRY and we actually had more stuff than we
could fit in the small space. I think we will be fine. We don't need to
"compete" with the other groups to have a good time. However, I will get
working on a layout plan so people can start claiming real estate for
planning purposes.
One thing I am sure of, we will have plenty of trains. I ran into Frank
Filz at Target (small world - he was speaking with my brother-in-law as they
combed through the LEGO clearance stuff) the other day and we discussed the
train show and trains in general. I have come to the conclusion that I have
about 20 different trains (between LEGO sets and MOCs, some complete trains,
some just engines) and a bunch of rolling stock. If we just had to depend
on my trains we would be okay but that isn't the point. We need everyone to
contribute however they can. If we run out of time I have a bunch of older
LEGO Town (Fire Stations, Gash 'N Wash Express, etc.) that could be used to
fill space.
I have come to the conclusion that I like freight trains much more than I
like passenger trains so I have been thinking of building some sort of
loading yard. Just ideas as this point but I do need to get going. I
always under estimate how much time it takes to build something. I will
also probably build some sort of downtown theme either modeled after
downtown Apex or downtown Cary (I like Apex better so it is more likely).
All for now, I'll look at the PNLTC checklist this evening some time.
Mike
