It doesn't have to be a seperate group; but at the same time, I wouldn't
want our meetings to be just about trains either, to the exclusion of
people who just like LEGO. If we do a display project, I hope everyone
would participate, even if they don't have train sets. Maybe a collection
of MOC organized in a structured fashion...
Random thought: Remember West World from the 70's? It would be nice to do a
display for the train to travel between themed worlds...

Agreed.
One of my other random thoughts that I didn't include in my previous
post is, at work they allow employees to rent out a rec-room for a nomincal
cost. The room is big enough for 100 people, there is a small kitchen
connected to it (I think), & they're willing to set up tables and chairs
as needed. I'm thinking that if we start having semi-monthly meetings, it
might be nice to hold meetings at the same place. It doesn't have to be at
this rec-room, maybe somewhere convient to get to, doesn't charge a lot
to use, & big enough to let us meet.
I've talked to another Columbus LEGO person (not on Carolyn's list) about
using a room in his old church... the only problem with it was we had
to schedual meetings around weddings & church meetings.

And a few other odd-n-end train related sets...
