(...) I understand how this all happened. But I think that you should wait until AFTER robot10 to have a train thing. You did this to me last time. I feel it puts undo stress on our readership.

They have scads of parking, and we could even park at the Loblaws across the street.* The majority of people (...) (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I prefer the 19th, I have a lot of building I want to do, and there is little chance of me getting it done by the 5th. Obviously for this reason March would be even better, but that's so far away. So 19th is good for me. Is this being held at (...) (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Man, has it been slow on rtl this week. Anyways, I just got off the phone with the Library and have January 5th or 19th. I'm for either, but I think 19 is better because people are further away from holidays, so I had it pencilled in. So, are people (...) (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | Train Station Platform for Train3

I created a picture of the train platform I'd like to build for Train3. It does impinge on the generally excepted clearances, but I think its low enough that it shouldn't cause a problem with anyone's trains. Its designed to line up perfectly with (...)
