(...) I think the parent watched their kids pretty well. I’m not sure if the kids tried to steal anything but if they did then it wasn’t noticeable. A rope would make our display smaller and I don’t think we would want that. (25 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Shims (HD has a pack of 100 for like 4 dollars I think) under the legs to get the levels aligned, clamps to keep things well connected, and GATS supplies the skirt to hid all the details from the mundanes. Sounds like a plan. (25 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

To All, Well, I guess we need some opinions, I will see if I can find any of those border things, if I can get a cost for the show, maybe then we can decide. If not, we can vote on it. I would like to try to get a cost for it first. Scott (25 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) If we don't have a barrier, we could move the track back from the edge 1/2 to 1 plate to protect the trains. If we go to a 16x28 area it becomes difficult to lay out the tables and the inside area gets pretty small. (25 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
