NELUG has been featured in the Boston Globe, today February 26, 2002.

Overall we are happy with the article although it suffers a little from what we
might call "selective compression".  The only error in the article is the
length of the bridge.  The real length is 17 feet.  I would have also have
liked a mention of our web site but oh well.

NELUG also appeared in several nightly news casts over the weekend.  We are
currently trying to collect them and if we can we will digitize them and put
them on our web site as well.

It is hard to put into words but you all should know that this was an extremely
high profile event in Boston and we have gotten a ton of press coverage.  This
can only be a good thing for our hobby.  It's not trains but it puts us more
into the main stream.

Pictures of the entire event are available on http://www.nelug.org/ and the
Home Show runs through March 3rd.
