Well, the show was both stressful and successful.  Many positive comments
and it looks like we have a good amount of momentum to go on.  We even came
across a Lego Train Fan who knew nothing of Lugnet or BayLUG, but had been
building Lego Train MOCs for about 10 years.  It looks like we may even get
3 or 4 new AFOLs into the club.  I hope we get the English fellow I spoke
with and I regret not getting his contact info.

Here are the 15 pictures I took at the event:

We were invited to a couple more train shows, so I guess we did well enough
and we might be able to have a decent layout to take to Hayward in January
if things go well in the future.  I don't want any more high stress
deadlines, though, as the NMRA caused me many sleepless nights.  I would
like to have the Modules finished before the train show next time.

Wow, great stuff. I liked everything, but I also must add that I LOVED your diner. Every once and a while when I see a model I exclaim "I wish I had thought of that!" So, now I'll just have to be inspired by it. I am definately going to build one. (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

(...) Great pictures Mike! Thanks for sharing them with us. I guess a lot of people have taken more views on the buildings (georgeous station!) than on the rolling stock... Leg Godt! Ben (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)
