Mike,the newly formed michigan lego train club(MILTC) is doing a
20'x20'display at a GATS in 3 weeks.We are skiping the tables and building
on the floor.Our display will have over 500 plates.Make sure you guys ask
TLC for support.Today TLC informed me that some 300 plates(at no charge) i
asked for are UPS bound for us.TLC is taking a big interest in train
displays and helping clubs out.
