I spent several more hours playing with this yesterday. Changed the top of the boiler to use the 2x6 'train' roof bricks, this allows a nice smooth tiled top. I also got a pretty good start on the tender, but I'm still waiting for pieces. (The (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

Meanwhile young upstart clubs like MichLTC are 3/4 of the way to completing 4 shows in 4 months which will be a new record (for US anyway...) here's the writeup on our most recent show. Jason (...)

(...) That involved what? *One* set up and one tear down? Not impressed by show duration as a measure of level of effort as far as setup/teardown goes But getting people to cover shifts for 6 weeks, ya, that's impressive. (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains.org)

Well, it wasn't actually "one set-up" as the layout evolved and grew during the 6 weeks. Tables were added to expand the overall size of the layout, at times even while the musuem was open, which brought on a whold new set of challenges to deal (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains.org)

I hope we always keep it friendly! We're all proud (and some are arrogant) about our clubs. That's great - but we should also be proud of OTHER clubs. There are a lot of people that are displaying LEGO trains at various shows, a few hundred at (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

I agree with most of this (...) Wait! I thought that "Challenger 2.0" IS the subject? Isn't this thread about clubs *challenging* each other to do better? :-) (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)
