 | | Possible November 12 train show participation —Kevin Wilson
|
| | | Well, I got to talk to Dick Sutcliffe on the phone, they are interested in having us at the show, and he's sending over the papers for the train shop (by mail to me, orpossibly by fax to Dean and Alex). There's a cutoff date for entries of Sept (...) (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

| | | | | Wow, what a busy week! Sorry I haven't jumped in on this thread. If there is enough interest (more than 3 or 4 people), I think it would be a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I can't make it to a prospective Saturday meeting to iron out some details. A (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

| | | | | Hi, I have several comments to make at this point: I think that the question regarding how big the layout will be is VERY important. That dictates how much space needs to be "filled" and what we need to build. I'd love to help out in any way I can, (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

| | | | | | (...) I think we should size it by what we can fill, rather than the other way around. Actually when you start throwing together monorail track, train track AND a dock with boats, space gets eaten up rather fast. (...) I think we could use the idea (...)

| | | | | Here's my 2¢... 1. I'd love to build something, but my LEGO is in piles... one unwashed, one clean, one partially sorted. That which isn't in piles is partially sorted into ziplocks and other containers. Either way, it's not "build-able" for me. The (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
