ILTCO would like to invite everyone to come see the largest LEGO train
layout ever (~50 x 70 feet, or well over 15 x 20 meters) at the National Model
Railroad Association (NMRA) National Train Show, July 7-9, 2005 in
Cincinnati!!!!
The show is open to the public on Friday July 8, Noon-6PM, Saturday July 9,
10AM-6PM, and Sunday July 10 10AM- 5PM. It is held at the Cincinnati conference
center, downtown Cincinnati.
No less than 13 clubs (COLTC, GFLTC, GMLTC, GtwLUG, MichianaLTC, MichLTC, MSLTC,
NCLTC, NGLTC, NILTC, TCLTC, WAMALTC, and rtlToronto) will be bringing the best
of their club's layouts to create a colossal consolidated LEGO train display!
There will be many other clubs represented by members coming from all over the
world to and displaying what ever they can carry on a plane/train/automobile!
We have already seen some previous teasers of what is going to be on display,
and it is going to be a true LEGO-extravaganza!! Several large models will
premier at this show, and because many clubs could easily fill twice their
allocated space, they will only be showing the best of their best. At all times,
no less than 20 train loops will buzz with activity, and 100's of additional
engines and cars will be on display. The display will be staffed by well over 50
members of various LEGO trainclubs.
This is a very exciting time for the LEGO train hobby and its
enthusiasts in that we will be getting recognition at the national
level. We have been assigned the largest available layout space out of
all the other gauges, and this is the first large-scale Lego contribution at the
worlds biggest and most well-known train convention. We'll show them that Lego
trains are a genuine force to be reckonend with!!
ILTCO will also be hosting a low key social event after setup, July 6th
- Thursday night.
