The Trains2000 show is now booked, but final space won't be allocated until October (!). We're one of the early bookers, so our requests should not be a problem. We're almost guaranteed to be in the main display space. Robin (23 years ago, 21-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

We are confirmed for the August 5th TTOS show. Actually, we might be displaying on the 4th as well. I have a question in about that. We have display space of 16 by 24 feet!!
