That said, have you mentioned the Feb.17&18 2001 Calgary show?

Not yet, I don't want to push my luck.  It was bad enough that she saw me
sketching plans for the next layout last night!

Sidehole2 is the only one with track on it.

I was thinking that if you couldn't make it, and they wanted a LEGO
train display enough to provide the table space, I could stay with my
sister (who lives down there) and perhaps borrow some of your trains
and buildings.  I couldn't fit all of it into my Honda, and certainly
not the tables, but certainly enough LEGO for a great display.

Sure I could lend you some of my stuff.  Lets talk about it later.  I was
wondering if we should post a challenge on the Calgary Lugnet site for the
local guys to do a train display.

I could also very likely go to Supertrain 2001.  This would solve the
transport problem; I could bring down all the tables & and a lot of the models.

We should also consider
dispensing with the barriers entirely, as many of the other
layouts there had done. If there are no loose items near
the edge (just tracks and buildings) it shouldn't be a major
problem, but the operator would have to keep a closer
eye on trains running on the outside tracks.

I really think the barriers are needed, it was really hard to keep an eye on
everything.

Me too.  If we didn't have the barrier, then the hordes would have been hard
up against the table edge - not good, IMHO.  I'm pretty certain we'd regret
not having either a barrier or plexiglass, and my strong preference is for a
barrier.
