(...) Well, I'm in Pennsylvania, if that makes any difference. I'm not too savvy with www.lego.com, so I don't know how to confirm availability. Elroy already mentioned that he's seen them in Vermont, so that's good news. Anyone else have any ideas? (...) (19 years ago, 11-May-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.duplo)

This is one of those photo galleries that makes me depressed (wait!) but also spurs me on to do Lego stuff. I look at it and think, I could never do that, but of course its not just the work of one person and if I work as part of a team I CAN do it! (...)

(...) The jury is out, of course, since this is the first time we have done ballasting. My feeling is that we will be able to reuse quite a bit even with big changes. The primary reason we used ballast this time is because we wanted a big meandering (...) (19 years ago, 11-May-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

(...) Interesting. How much rework would you have to do, with the switches and curves? MichLTC is looking at ballasting right now and it seems like a LOT of permeatations would have to be prepared. Or rework before an event. (...) Oh, I guess I (...) (19 years ago, 11-May-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

(...) Yes. We had and "event" in which members spent a day putting down ballast, but in the end Susan Michon did about 90% of the work (and has the dimpled thumbs to prove it).

(...) Very nice work. Is this the first show you all have done with ballasted track? Looks very good. With all of that ballasted, I suppose your track lines and yard are fairly fixed, no? I think I may "borrow" that cow design. I see that someone is (...) (19 years ago, 11-May-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)
