James you are right on. And there have been several ideas like this in the last few years that fizzeled out. And other ideas, like I wanted to do a nation wide LTC and/or LUG convention, I just didn't have the energy to carry that foward. But there (...) (24 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)

These are all great and very important questions. As a start I really wanted to just get a list of MOCs. It will be hard to judge the quality of a MOC with bad photos but with that in mind hopefully we can judge more fairly based on MOC and not (...) (24 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)

Steve, What about photo quality? Some bad pictures have been taken of some great models. Have you thought about how good photos would be collected? Or does anyone else have any suggestions about how the photos of the chosen models should taken, and (...) (24 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)
