Steve & All,

< snipped my discussion >

We need a count on switches, I think we need 13 right and 9 left, I have 5
sets. We may be able to use a couple more if Chris can get us extra tables.

I think that is shored up now.

I will bring the barriers, duct tape, shims, a couple of extension cords, a
cordless drill (for adjusting the barriers).  We will also need pushpins for
attaching the skirt to the barriers. C-clamps, I have 6-8 that should be large
enough, bring as many as you can find.

Can you buy those somewhere?

Do we want to have a rope barrier at the entrance to the inside of the
layout? I don't think we want people to be able to walk up to the bridges.
Maybe we can just string a rope between the tables.

Good idea!

As far as Lego, we could use ramps and maybe gates for all the road
crossings, there are 4 double track crossings and 1 triple.  Also maybe some
signal lights to put around the track.  Maybe bring some 16x16 and 16x32
green baseplates, Chris may have enough, I am not sure.

I can bring some of the road plates and tiles, no problem. Signal lights?

Bring as many electrical wires as you have, if we have enough, maybe we can
keep all the regulators in one spot. Do we need multiple regulators on each
mainline? I have run 45-50ft of track on 1 without any problems. I think we
should also put the yard on a separate regulator because of the track
cross-over and also to allow staging of trains while the mainlines are in
use.

I think Kai wired it up last time, I will take all my regulators and wire
that I have.
