Thanks Michel.
Chris Leach of MichLTC/LUG asked us about this a while ago, and the truth
is, I'm not really sure we're up to it. I asked our group if anyone was
interested in spearheading this project, but I get any takers.

I think MichLUG is bringing up a significant layout to the show and is
representing Lego.

This sounds like a great idea, except for the problem of rtlToronto
coordinating the entire thing--there's just no bandwidth to do such a thing
in here.

That would be incredible if we could coordinate and build such a layout.

I wouldn't think there is a negative side to this. The Americans have no
exclusive lock on the NMRA, that said, I'm not sure we have enough interest
in it to sustain a showing anyways.

No, it's very much welcome-- In fact, it's a kick in the pants for us to
think about it, which we've really push on the back burner. well, let me
put it back out to the rtlToronto audience-are we interested (we being:
JeffVW, JeffE, Derek, Dave, yer core rtlToronto/train audience) in doing
such a thing?
