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 America" theme of most of those stores I think I would be
sick :-). Thats in real life of course, in LEGO scale they are impressive
models and I have considered doing one or two myself but I would be afraid of
them putting the shops on my Main Street out of business.
I also really liked Kim's module. Was it a pain to transport or did it break
appart nicely into easily manageable, and stable, pieces?
Here is a question for everyone...
Are these displays getting to common place for us? I mean are they so frequent
and common now that we just arn't in as much awe when we see one? Don't get me
wrong I think the shows becomming common place is a good thing its just that
they are all so great we just might be comming to expect them to be great and
hence arn't as wow'ed as we once were.

| 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 (...)

| (...) been super busy, and I haven't gotten through all the pictures of the various shows. I also tend to feel dumb if I don't have something to say other than "wow". 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)
