Hello everyone i just wanted to say i have ATLEAST one structure done for
the upcoming train show.

Hello all!  I've been lurking for a little while and was off-and-on with RTL
in the mid-90s.  I've been in touch with Chris Leach regarding GATS and
wanted to share what I plan to bring:

1. A *real* McDonald's (as opposed to the official Lego version).  Should be
pretty cool.  Waiting on a parts order.  Will be slightly larger than 10" by 10"

2. A semi-Greek Revival bank.  It's about half-done now--waiting on parts to
finish a couple of the columns mainly.  Basically 10" by 5"

3. A signal tower--it should be on a 10" by 5" baseplate, with the actual
model smaller.

4. Johnny Thunder's adventure golf!  Miniature golf with a hole for each
Adventurers theme.  20"x10"?  Chris assures me there will be some space to
fill...

I can also bring a bunch of green-border roadplates.  DACTA has a 10-pack
for $36, so I'll have a number in addition to the ones I need.

I haven't done much in trains, so I really don't have any track or trains to
bring.  I do have a trolley (with the 9v train motor) if people are
interested for the display.  I'll mainly focus on buildings to round out the
town.  I expect 1-3 to be pretty well in hand in the next week or two and
will post photos as soon as I get my hands on a digital camera.  I'll also
bring a small assortment of road vehicles...

Excited about the show!

Thanks,
Peter

Yes, I reply to myself in real life, too =) (...) Chris Leach asked about this, so I'll spill. It's ten green roadplates--four curves, two crosses, two ts, and two straight. Item 779370 - for whatever reason it doesn't show up when you search plates (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Hello everyone i just wanted to say i have ATLEAST one structure done for the upcoming train show. It is an overhead crane similar to 4552 but i doesnt have a track to roll on. It has a cab that slides across smooth .3 plates with a crane housing (...) (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
