Fortunately we have until December for the Massachusetts show. I do have a few questions for you. 1. How big was your setup (How many tables and how big are the tables) 2. How much did the show cost the group in terms of supplys (tables, table skirts etc.) 3. How many trains did you run or did you only have one long oval of track? 4. How much scenery did you have? 5. How many people would you recommend for policing the layout and should there be someone in the center of the setup with others policing the outside? Any info would be great because if we do this we want to know what we are getting into.
