Okay, I'll go first.
I don't have any specific train stuff (track, train motors, wheels, etc.),
but I can provide some sort of structure. A bridge perhaps? Maybe something
similar to this:
http://www.texbrick.com/creations/bridge_arch/
I can build something specially for the train layout. An arch would be good
as I could build a roadway low to the ground and also approaches on either
side. (I'm thinking this layout will go on the floor and not on tables)
The only problem is that I don't have any track. Does anyone have 10 or 20
feet of straight track to put on my bridge?
I'll search around the internet and possibly get a few pictures of bridges
in Texas. I know they're aren't any spectacular ones, but I can try to build
something to fit in with our Texas theme. I know the bridge over the port of
Corpus Christi is a big arch bridge.
Okay, next? Who else has ideas for the train layout? Who has track?
As for a meeting place, I think a room a little larger than a 2-car garage
might do. I don't know of any "free" places near me in Houston. Does anyone
else (particularly in Austin) have a large conference room at their disposal?
Friday night through Sunday afternoon would probably be the time we would
need. (we'll try and set a specific date later)
