(...) Yeah, just a few seconds. I didn't time it, but it was probably a 20-second spot. Both WOOD-TV8 (NBC) and Fox (don't remember the station ID) ran stories on the train show. WOOD's was at 6, my mom taped it. She said it was very brief. Steve (25 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) The way things were set up, our display tended to be the first thing people would see. We had a small information table in front, on it was a 4561 chugging around its oval loop. 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)

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