Great! Yes, we'd love to meet you!

This has been on my mind for a long long long time. rtlToronto is probably
the world's most Technic oriented LUG-- That's not a bad thing, especially
with nearly 20 or so members who power events like rtlToronto7. It's just
there are other facets of Lego we should explore.

Cool! I've got one 4558, two 4559 and two 4561. The Metroliner is
assembled, the others have been disassembled into other trains-a cargo train
right now. A 4552, 4537, expanded 4555, 4554 MetroStation on layout. I've
also got the parts to 7710, 7720, 7715, 7722 disassembled. My next train
project, once I'm done working on PBXs and fighter planes, is to build two
Club Car clones.

I'm definetly in and so is Iain. I'm sure Jeff would be interested, but
he's often very busy.
The general idea was to rent out a single room of a Library here in
Etobicoke, and run a small layout. Most of my buildings can be made into
"plates" (ie, each building is on it's own baseplate)-how bout yours? For
track, I figure we'll sort of keep track who's track is whose and lay it all
about. Or perhaps we could link Towns together w/track.
