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.

Welcome to the crazy world of displaying a Lego train layout!

Glad to hear you had fun, I hope your group continues to 'dabble' in trains.
And I'm *really* looking forward to what your RCX expertise can bring to the
world of Lego trains.

How many other train shows approached you asking if you'd display at their show?
That's the part that always makes us laugh, and makes us feel like we're doing
something right.
