(film at 11) ;) The long and short of it is that they were very impressed, and we got invited down to Supertrain 2001 in Calgary - The Calgary folks implied that we could have as much layout space as we wanted. :) The top questions were, of course: (...)

Fantastic job, NALUG members! When do we get a show report? Size of layout, unique features, who participated, anecdotes, new ideas discussed...... dan parker PNLTC (24 years ago, 25-Sep-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
