(...) They "won" (1) first place at the January show so ever since there has been a bit of ribbing of them (2) by some of us. 1 - as in the GATS people chose them, although it's billed as a "people's choice". 2 - which they presumably are totally (...)

To All, (...) Indeed. It was sickening to see them whip out their modules in 5 minutes and they were all set. They had trailers that the parts just fit in. Pah! ; ) (...)

For the buildings, that it--lay the track down after. All we'd need is plywood with the (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) We *can* do that, you know. Just takes time and money. GMLTC layout is modular and loads onto a custom trailer. Takes a bit more than 5 min to set up but not much more. Just time (a lot of it) and money (a lot of it). That's all we need. (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Peter & All, Boy, I knew I should have waited before replying. I was too tired last night. I apologize for the last message here, it sounded really bad.

(...) I agree. Just having baseplates affixed to plywood modular tables doesn't save much time at all. However (and let me be clear that I'm not advocating that we switch to the GMLTC modular system, not by any means at all) that's not what GMLTC (...)
