   IndyLUG won first place at the Indianapolis GATS show this past weekend. Some of the members are preparing pics and will have them up shortly.

        Re: IndyLUG takes 1st place at GATS —Rob Hendrix
     Congrats! Keep up the great work guys! With all the winning our Lego train clubs are doing at these events, maybe the NMRA will finally make some sort of ruling on L gauge.

         NMRA L gauge (was IndyLUG takes 1st place at GATS) —Brian B. Alano
      (...) Thanks! What kind of ruling are we waiting for? An acceptance into the Standards and Recommended Practices, or a ruling that says L gage modelers can be legitimate members of the NMRA? A trivial question: why does the NMRA SRP spell "gauge" (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.trains)
    
         Re: NMRA L gauge (was IndyLUG takes 1st place at GATS) —James Powell
      (...) They (NMRA) should NOT accept "L" gauge as it is, as at present it is a propriatory system. (Although, lego has not yet expressed a interest in stopping us in the secondary market). Does the NMRA have a listing for P4? (not Proto:87)...it (...) (21 years ago, 21-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.trains)

      For what it's worth, Centerline Products currently makes an L-gauge brass track cleaning car. (As far as I know, they are the first non-LEGO compnay to make an L-gauge product. So, at least one long-time train product maker has invested time to (...) (21 years ago, 23-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.trains)

     (...) Nice Job. One of these days, I'm going to build something for a show. Really. I'm not kidding. :) I went to the train show. (my first train show) I expected more from the other train (non-LEGO) set-ups. With most of them, it was pretty easy to (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)
    
         Re: IndyLUG takes 1st place at GATS —Steve Martin
      (...) I think it sounds great. We are taking November off so our next meeting is in December and the next GATS is the first weekend in January. We'd love to have a train cam. Can you get it done by the train show (or even better, by the December (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)

      If you run it on a DCC loop, you could power it off the tracks, or, depending on the power requirement, off a DCC decoder's accessory output. In the former case, you could even use an RCX as a power conditioner ((URL) put Ralph Hempel's DCC encoder (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)

     Hi Steve, Let me chime in and say this is a fantastic idea!!!!! If you need any assistance with some train and or monorail platforms to mount the camera on I'd be more than willing to help out. Building a train car camera mount and a monorail camera (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)

     (...) After having used this at the Dayton GATS, it will be a must for our future shows I think!! I simply powered the camera off a 9V battery. I took an airport shuttle, and modified the front to fit in the camera. Even in an unmodfified airport (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)

     Paul, You Da Man!! Thanks for the info and the pics... Look for IndyLUG "home movies" at our next event. It's just too cool an idea to not do it, especially since you already worked out the details on implimentation. Is there a franchise fee? ;-) (...)
