Well, if there are two train clubs, more the better for me. Besides, imagine the statewide meetings (maybe once a year?)... They would be HUGE! As I am so far from North or South, I probably wouldn't be able to bring tables, though. Just Lego. Mike (...)

SD and LA should be able to support a group. 3. Reduced driving times means a greater (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.loc.us.ca.la, lugnet.loc.us.ca.fno)
