  The mountain was incredible (coming from someone who spent a few hours
working on a couple GMLTC-like modules, and then sorting and stacking
bricks for others to use to continue after me... ;-)

  It was also very cool to see my models on display! I think the stripes
on all of the blue VIA coaches lined up well, considering they were built
by two folks, working independantly, and without coordination! :-)

  The CP engine, and matching caboose were awe-inspiring! (Seeing the
nice one next to mine was a striking contrast! Someone said that was
an 8-wide train, right? OK, now I don't feel so bad. ;-)

  It's been very difficult to find CP, CN, and VIA decals in California.
I'm going to start looking for adds in the modeling magazines. Does anyone
have recommendations for particular decal makers, or for which scale(s)
look best on "L-Guage" trains (6- or 8-wide)?

(...) What was awe-inspiring to me is that the mountain is only about 2/3's of a GMLTC module! I have a new respect (not that I didn't before, but...) for the guys doing that style of modular layout. (I say 2/3's because while my mountain is taller, (...) (24 years ago, 20-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

Wow! I found 4 MPEG movies, and my trains were in two of them! :-) Nice job behind the camera! I'm glad to see they actually got on the loops. :-) I've been looking at the Town area as well, and I like many of the houses, and the street light (...)

The largest LEGO train layout in Canadian history (AFAIK) at Canada's largest model train exhibit was a huge success. Overall attendance broke the previous record by over 30% - 13322 attendees. The largest "kid's play area" at a train show (I stand (...) (24 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org) !
