| | | 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... (...) (24 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

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) (24 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

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 (...)

| | | | | | | 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 (...)

| | | | | | | | [ROTFL after blowing Coke and Kettle Korn on my monitor] Sorry, I hope it was taken as posted --lightly. Seriously, one of the neat things is to get together, thump our chests with MOCs, and watch our little contraptions run around on metal rails. (...) (24 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

Chris PS I'll comment about the show when I get done with looking at everything. (24 years ago, 24-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" (...) (24 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
