Hi all. One of the reasons we all post pics on the web is cause we're all proud ABS parents, but another is to critique and spur on new ideas... I've noticed about 400 hits on our site in the last few days so someone's looking at the GATS show... (...) (23 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Well of course its great stuff, allways is. I did mean to comment on the Americana section. While it is very impressive, that is not a Main Street I would want to drive down. Between the traffic, lack of parking, and the "Bigger is better in (...) (23 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

Steve: (...) Have you considered to put the full-size images on pages with "previous" and "next" links, so lazy surfers like me don't have to hit Alt-Left all the time? Generally it looks good (as always), but I was a bit disappointed by the "farm" (...) (23 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

Eric: (...) They are not too common until one gets to Copenhagen. (...) I think you have a point. It certainly takes more (or at least innovation) to impress now that we have seen images of big displays several times. Play well, Jacob -- (URL) (23 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I think you are right to some degree, Eric. We have gotten acclimated to the train show phenomenon, although the occasional world record event type thing still jolts the senses:-) Imagine the GMLTC's frustration, because we choose to show the (...)

(...) Guilty as charged (looking & not commenting)... I was very impressed with the Americana section; especially the skyscrapers in the background. That's a good way to add perspective & make the layout feel bigger than it actually is. The Rock (...) (23 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

Eric, while I wasn't a direct attendee, I did watch the show closely. I think the chainstore barrage was both an intended editorial comment and a playful jab at other clubmembers who really dislike the chainstore thing displacing old Mainstreet USA (...) (23 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
