Small children (and not-so-small) would notice the 4561 first, (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) I agree, James. We definitely need to figure this out so we can incorporate it into our club design. I'm awake and still having a hard time visualizing this design. Sounds like an intriging design. Later, John Warren (25 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.michlug, lugnet.trains.org)

To All, I just got back not too long ago, and I am blitzed, it was an awesome show, and it was great to be with everyone, doing one is always a blast, even if I feel like I have been hit with a nuclear weapon!

(...) Yea!, Lego's are getting better, i like when the pictures show some older (20's - 40's) people and they look on in wonder, and realize that they never knew so much could be done with Legos. josh (25 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Congrats on the first place finish. I noticed that this show you had the plexiglass up, how did you attach that to the tables?
