Peter,

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! ; )

I *STILL* say we should do that... divide up the layout into different
"neighborhoods," and each person is responsible for one or more
neighborhoods.

Well, it might be nice, but impractical. It just boils down to most people
do not have that big of collection. Chris and Steve are making most of the
display anyway, and the implications of trying to get that kind of things
done before hand are not practical right now. Not to mention bringing in
plywood filled with LEGO items. You might need a forklift.

For the buildings, that it--lay the track down after.  All
we'd need is plywood with the baseplates mounted on it.  'Course, our
display takes up just a little more space overall than theirs...

Well, that is bad in a sense that it could not really be changed, could it?
Unless mounted means something else. Until we get a Semi or large U-Haul,
and a custom rack for plywood sheets with LEGO on it, I think we will have
to do it the way it is now.

If and when Lynn and I get our house with a big basement, then we might be
able to, but you guys would have to drive to South Bend to assemble the
weekend before or take your own or whatever.

Don't get me wrong, Peter, it is a good way to approach it, but right now,
it is just too out of reach. Anyone have soem ideas for this?

I think this show will be better, but it can always improve.

Scott S.

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 would like to see a plywood system that we can assemble before hand so we can transport it (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
