Huh? This is about the strangest post I have ever seen. Looking at the last post
about WAMALUG there are 15 replies (certainly some of those people aren't WAMALUG
members. Sometimes people have alot going on and do not post right away. Further,
there are alot of pictures to flip through. I have not even finished looking
through them.
I do not understand why you are crying sour grapes. We appreaciate the effort put
into the layout, we appreciate the effort put into the pictures, just wait and
maybe comments will be forth coming.

P.S. It took me several months to build my SD40-2, the 4565 modification, the tank
cars, the box cars, and the coach. It took nearly as long to make LDraw/MLCad
instructions, and it took more than 16 hours to put to everything together on a
web site. I didn't see any comments from you about my work.
