Or not so nuts that do some train stuff occasionally... I was just wondering if there were any train nuts in NELUG or in the local Boston area. I have only done a couple of models so far and I now finally have an engine to run around my little oval of track. I can't say that I am a bug train nut as I seem to jump from theme to theme occasionally but I think I have come up with a way to keep my LEGO hobby going forward for the period between when the baby is born and when they are old enough for System LEGO and it involves Trains. (I will have plenty of Primo(Baby) and Duplo in the meantime but I still want to do a little LEGO). Anyway I know that Chris Phillips and I have talked occasionally about trains and incorporating Mindstorms into a layout to control certain aspects of the operation but it has not gone beyond that. I also have some buildings that I made for a medieval setup but some of them work just fine in a modern setup as well. So if anyone is interested in a little train talk or maybe starting a simple or not-so-simple layout I would be interested in it. NELUG seems to be one of the bigger groups that has not done much with train yet which I find interesting. I actually think that is a good thing in a way but I just thought it was a little strange that there has been little to no train talk since we started NELUG.

		Re: Do we have any train nuts around here?
(...) I take it from the reponse, and lack there of, that there isn't much in the way of train heads up here in New England (At least that read these newsgroups). Thats OK I still plan on doing a little more with it and hopefully doing a larger (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)
