Boy this is great news! Its looking good for LTC all around the US, I guess
were going to have to do something special down here in Florida, just to keep
up? But I dont think we can top this one! Oh well, will do something note
worthy one of these day:)
Here an idea for the event. How about we get all the LTC and LUG to send one
locomotive in there club's colors with there club's logo on it, for a group
train record? The Worlds First Unified Club Super Train All we would do is
make a special locomotives and mail them to you(PNLTC). You would run them at
the event and of coarse you would send them back to us after:)
Build on...

| Robin, the locos sound like a great idea -- I'll forward to the group but it should fly. As an option, how about standard LEGO containers in club colors and logos? Just imagine a complete container train representing all the organizations. dp/PNLTC (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)
