Mike-

We just finished setting up the GMLTC layout at the NMRA National Convention
earlier this evening--boy, is it cool!  The new sections are AWESOME!  Can't
wait until wet post pix, MPEGS, the works to show y'all.

Has anyone ever tried to make one of those train modules they use in the
GMLTC?  I am starting one and it is taking A LOT of bricks and also a lot of
time.  I cannon really imagine having 8, let alone Conan's 16.  I was hoping
to have it done before the BayLUG meeting, but I don't think there is any way
that is going to happen.

On a side note, I did some figuring.  If he has 2-3 million bricks, it would
cost about 25-38 thousand dollars and would be 1 to 1 1/2  40 FOOT TRUCKLOADS
of bulk tubs!  That is CRAZY!  My 100,000 piece collection occupies most of
the rec room.  How can he fit 30 times that in a house?

The modules stay in a trailer.

Back on topic, I was wondering if there was a secret on how to make these
things a little easier to build.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Get help;-)

Later,
