Your micro display went over HUGE!! I did like the ease of setup :)  Now if only
TLC released 2 wide track and train motors--we'd be set :)

I love that idea!  I'm going to see what I can do with the wooden modules to
accomodate PVC sticking straight out (as well as to see if it'll be a big issue

(...) Dave thank you so much for organising us once again into a kick butt display, the CS layout was a huge hit, as were the 2 kids tables. Always wonderful to see the core layout, and I was happy to display my micro, phase uno. I had a great time, (...) (19 years ago, 28-Nov-07, to lugnet.org.ca.obb, FTX)
