(...) Hrmm. I could see where that would be convenient for the clubs themselves with spelled-out geographical description to avoid the alphabet soup for newbies.

(...) I'm not against it either but I think if club related stuff were off in another group then I'd probably never read it since I'm not in any club. And that would remove a possible incentive to get me interested in joining/starting/attending a (...) (26 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.trains)

I'm not against it, but do we have critical mass yet? Also, what problem is it trying to solve? Is trains too noisy already (I can't tell since I'm part of the noise) or are you thinking ahead? (...) (26 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.trains)

(...) Changes 110 V to 220 or vice versa. Allows you to use a speed controller/trafo on mains that don't match what it was made for. For instance I would need a step up if I got something from the continent (and a plug adaptor) because US mains (...) (26 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

Great idea, Todd. Helping other groups get off the ground is a core part of PNLTC's Mission Prospectus and it certainly makes sense for any and all groups to coordinate -- ultimately, I foresee this as much more clout in dealing with TLG.

(...) Thank you for your promt answer! What is a step-up/step-down transformer? I am getting the transformer and tracks, but I guess I will use it on the 9V track as I have more tracks for 9V. I think I will try to use the light posts from the 12V (...) (26 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)
