I think this is a fantastic idea - speaking as someone who has just recently
got back into Lego after a looooong period away and has moved into Lego
trains for the first time (I had always wanted Lego trains when I was a kid,

Would you like a volunteer to do the DTPing? I'm a professionally trained

looking for ways to give back to this community, and this would be the ideal
way. If we can help, we'd love to do it. We have all the equipment and
software here.
