Sorry I have been out on vacation and busy with the baby. (Interestingly he is already asking for Lego’s and at only 2 weeks old.) I am very willing to help start up a LUG or LTC or both. It has been my ambition to show St. Louis and Missouri what (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ks, lugnet.loc.us.mo, lugnet.trains.org)

I'm glad you like our inaugural layout. It was designed to be something simple that we could get up in a hurry for display, but after we somehow never got in to our first show we had more time to add details and improvements. My dad designed and (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc)

(...) For shame;-) Another great show for the NGLTC JT! The Railracers are ingenious-- kudos again to you. Now, about that 8 wide thing...;-) What fun you'll have with the Floridians-- we'll miss you all at BricksWest! -John (23 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains.org)

And all layouts get better the more "normal" suburb houses are around (in comparison to TLC city where only a few car repairs, police and fire stations have been - of course that incomplete city line has been (...)

The shay was made by Lewis Valentine, and yes it does work. The only problem was that our layout wasn't 8wide compatible, so I guess we'll have to work on that in the future.....maybe :) See ya in a few weeks, jt (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains.org)

Great work once again! Can't wait to see some of it in Jacksonville Feb 2-3! Love that shay, who made it, does it work? I am working on a 6 wide version, hope to finish it soon. But, it does not look so good... Build on... Robin Werner Greater (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains.org)

<snip> (...)

(...) Wonderful layout! Most areas were densely populated with little things going on all over- it's great to see all those figs, and every one doing something. As for specifics, I particularly love the university, the brick trees, and that killer (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc)

Well, I finally got around to checking out the SCLTC pics. Wow. Really nice. A little frustrating to navigate, but excellent detail and overview shots. Some things I particularly noticed and liked: The rope stanchions around the layout. Very sharp. (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, lugnet.trains)
