| | | | | Thanks for offering your place James. I might be a bit late, we won't be leaving St Paul until Saturday morning, I'll have my wife drop me off at your door on our way into Edmonton.

| | | | | (...) Thanks - it's likely easier for someone in town to get both myself and John. What's everyone else's status on this? (...) Sounds good to me. Want me to bring my BURPs? I have a tub of the big ones and a bucket of the little ones. You must have (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

Set the train on some track on a table, and put a stack of fourteen bricks beside it - the (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

| | | | | (...) Hmm. Ok then, I want it enough set in stone that we can start building usefully. I want to know how much room we've got for town (container yard, Octan yard, rail yard, etc) Some of that stuff we can fake, but I really want to be able to just (...)

| | | | | | (...) Agreed - I think we can get solid enough. The main thing is what mountain configuration to use (so it can be built) right? That part at least we should be able to put in stone. (pun intended) ;-) Whatever I (we) decide on 3 or 4 tracks and (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

| | | | | | (...) Yes and no. I definitely want the mountain down, but I'd also really like a solid setting for the town. We can build some things before knowing what space we've got, but a lot of stuff is going to have to wait - it's hard to build something (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

| | | | | | (...) The town can be as solid as you want it - I was intending to leave that section pretty much up to you. ie. There's tracks entering it here and here, which should loop back to here and here and the overall dimensions should be this by that. (6' (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
