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, but as many of you know, I'm still
attending school so I am unsure how much time I can devote to this. I have a
reasonable amount of train stuff. I'm sure we have enough train stuff, but
filling in the "oval of track" might be harder.
Another thing is that apart from my trains, I don't know what else I can
offer. Most of my stuff is castle related. If I really had to, I guess I
could build an office building (for example) but it would probably look ugly.
That reminds me, remember the meeting we had where the theme was Town? I
think a similar-sized display would be sufficient. Actually most of the stuff
there belonged to Kevin anyway. :) Maybe we just need to make it a bit
bigger to incorporate the trains into it.
I am hesitant to embrace this train show wholeheartedly because I don't know
what our goal is. The problem is, I've got the image of the PNLTC's layout
imprinted in my mind, and we don't have the resources, nor the members to pull
of such a HUGE display! Obviously, that's not our goal, so until we form some
sort of viable goal, I am scared of failure.

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 (...)

| 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)
