I do know for certain that there is a strict policy about how many vehicals
from each club is in the convention center at way one time (I think 3). This
includes special passes etc to keep track. And also how long each vehical
can stay in the center (I’m sure long enought to completely unpack). It is
sugested by the NMRA to rotate the member’s cars.
I’m pretty sure here is a thread on this on our organizer’s list. And also
that Paul will send out highly detailed instructions a few day before the
show.

This info was on the iltco mailing list, but maybe some club reps did not
forward it to all, or members simply forgot, so here is a set-up refresher:
We plan to start setting up on WEDNESDAY JULY 6, around 1-2 PM. According to
NMRA, it will take me 1-1.5 hour to get the passes at the office (which opens at
noon, and not a minute earlier I’vbe been told), after that, we will be able to
drive into the building. In case you’ll not get future posts, or there is too
much email-traffic and things get lost, note the ILTCO-layout is in Area 840,
and someone (most likely myself) will be there to answer questions about passes
from ~1.30-2 PM on.
We will (should) get 5 passes to drive into the building, but we are only
allowed 1 car at a time for our layout. You will even need a pass to get in the
line of cars/vans/trucks that is waiting to get in the building (so that is
where the other 4 passes come in handy).
The Lego layout has been granted permission to start setting up on Wednesday, we
should use that time. Many clubs have confirmed that they will be able to make
it by Wed ~1 PM. Note that Thursday, all dealers will also be allowed to drive
in and set-up as well. It will be much harder (or potentially impossible!) to
drive with a trailer, so for those clubs that have larger areas, try to get your
trailer there at ~1 PM.
Wednesday, will start setting up tables, and time permitting, we will start with
the layout. Although each attendee is looking after their club layout primarily,
I hope that we all realize that we’re in this together, and we’ll help clubs
that need some help, so we all can enjoy the social event.
Also, there may be things that need to be done that are for the entire layout,
like setting stanchions or setting up the community railyard. I hope that when I
approach some of the larger clubs to lend me a hand that this request will be
gladly accommodated with a big smile!!
See you in Cincy!!
Paul Janssen,
NMRA show coordinator
