The heck with that, I'll just tell you where their message is!

Some very nice stuff in there, especially from a bunch of RCX-heads!  *grin*

Thanks John!

We had a great time!  When you hear over the PA system, "Such-n such group is
having a raffle--you can find them next to the LEGO layout!", you know you've
made an impression.

The layout was a definite crowd pleaser.  And the quotes--

"LEGO has trains??"

"How much does this set cost?" (pointing to the entire layout)

"What gauge is this track?"

"How many pieces?"  (many many times over the weekend)

"Do you guys work for LEGO?"

"My kid'll love this!  I've been trying to get him excited about trains for a
long time but now that I know that LEGO makes trains, it'll be great!"

Anyway, just a few things overheard this weekend.

There was no "Hey mister!  Your train sucks!"

SNIP (...) SNIP So if you had to guess how many bricks are used? (...) THAT'S not what Calum told me. he over heard how many of the REAL train guys were grumbling about how what you do is NOT real train stuff. Ergo your trains suck! (in the eyes of (...)
