Chris,
I've posted this idea in the past also, but just haven't had the time or the
"fire under my a@@" to do it. But I think it would be a great idea, there
are a lot of great designs floating around here in LUGNET and putting them
into one collection would be super.
What I invisioned was a real bound book with a CD included that had the
ldraw files for the designs.
I think a book like this would be a big seller at trains shows. I know some
clubs are nervous about selling stuff at their displays, but the price of
one vendor table could quickly be recovered by the sales IMO.
Lets put it together and find a publisher!
