Thanks for your good comment on our show, they are appreciated. As a first
train show for our group, We did a small one and we now have a bigger one to do
for april, the organizer told us that we were the major attraction and we'll
get to first boot by the door next time.
I think this could serve as a lesson for other group who haven't done a show
yet, go for a small one, It's not the size that count both the quality. And you
don't need a lot of flashing stuff like the boot beside us was twice our size
with only a few car and truck with flashing ligth and a poor display, and
didn't get a lot of attention. You only small bits here and there that fill
your layout and every thing together will do the job.
Martin
