Unfortunately I'm pretty hand dependent. So I'm iffy on help I can provide.
Sigh. However, I can be at the show both Saterday and Sunday. I'll bring my Ice
packs.

I've got it installed. It's pretty hard on the O' hands though so I'd prefer to
not have to use it too much.

Yes, I know. But I don't want a table with track and HUGE bare patches, i'd
like it to be very Lego.
What's the dimension of your table.

Good I was counting on that.

Sorry Kev, that's a great idea. I think we all settled on the friday before the
meet as the VLC meeting. Right all?
That way we can make sure the Track and Road will fit right. I'm thinking of
making a road crew to tear up a plate. (Basically a chunk of road repair. Grey
tiles with white tiles in for the lines.) Maybe... I'll have to see how the
time is.
I picked up the needed Sensor today so I can get on the two tracks to one
bridge stuff.
I'd also like to automate the road crossing train post. With moving arms and
flashing lights. I'll let you all know how that's going.
So much to do and so little lego... Took advantage of the 'Don't pay till
March' deal at Zellers. Whoa...
