See lugnet.org.us.michlug or the MichLUG website at www.michlug.org for
details of this particular GATS show, which was held in Grand Rapids MI
weekend before last.
However GATS (Great American Train Shows) is a company that puts on a train
show or two just about every weekend of the year, *somewhere* in the US. So
US LTCs have started exhibiting at shows local to them. This is win win as
it draws crowds to GATS, GATS pays a small appearance fee and the LTCs get
to show off their stuff and meet potential new members.
I set FUT to org.us.michlug.... most of your questions are answered there
(where this was heavily discussed before, during and after) or on the
website... the planning was done via that group and offline, various MichLUG
members contributed track, buildings, baseplates, vehicles, rolling stock
etc, and we brought the stuff onto the show floor in our own private
vehicles (including a pickup truck, a Suburban, a Durango and several
passenger cars, 7 in all) and took it out the same way. GATS supplies the
tables.
Expect to see lots more of these sorts of GATS show reports from this and
other clubs, the ball is starting to pick up momentum. I think GFLUG has a
GATS show this weekend IIRC.
