...just to but my head in here on the subject of trains and shows. wamalug started as a
train group but has since expanded far beyond it, but we still love doing shows. Even our
non-train people come out and help. It seems a great central goal for the club to come
together on where we can all toss in a bit or two (who cant put together a small building,
or just a few figs for a park). So if you can get at least a couple people to start
playing trains, I suspect you will be able to convince others to come play too :-)
...you can go back to ignoring me now...
