As we at the GMLTC rebuild our layout and create a whole new town
section, I had an idea which I thought would be pretty fun. Wouldn't it
be fun to build a Spamcake Diner on the GMLTC layout? Then I thought:
wouldn't it be fun if the Spamcake Diner franchised out on to every
LTC's layout? What a fun way to (ahem) build a little LTC camaraderie!
Then I thought that I could print up some T-shirts with the Spamcake
Diner logo a la the Hard Rock Cafe listing the specific cities of the
clubs...
I ran this idea by Tom McDonald, the owner of the original Spamcake
Diner, and he seemed to think it was a fun idea-- ('course, he's a
little busy now that the new KABOB has arrived;) If we could get ldraw
the diner, we could all copy it and put one on our layouts, or maybe we
could just get Tom to take a bunch of detail pics of it and go from
there.
Anyone else think this would be a fun idea? The whole story behind
"Spamcake" is so fun and, if I'm not mistaken, evolved in OT.fun. If
nothing else, I'm going to have one on my home layout:-)

| Sounds like fun to me as long as the Dinner doesn't have to many rare parts to make it prohibative. Of course I guess they don't all have to be identical as long as they all follow a basic theme (Both color wise and architechurally). I know all the (...)

| OTOH, since Tom has a new mouth to feed, I would support his membership in the GoB with the diner as his first available set. Thus he could sell the set and get some well-deserved remuniration (1) for the time, effrot, and enjoyment involved. Larry, (...) (23 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.market.theory)
