Hi All, I was hoping to get a ruff idea of how many would attend, so please e-mail me or RE: if you are more then vaguely interested. I thought I'd start this off by picking a place, date, events, speakers. I would love to hear any ideas... (BTW (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) How about Minneapolis (*more* centrally located?;) (...) The NMRA convention is IIRC the weekend of the 6th. A problem for the PNLTC? (...) Again, perhaps a conflict with the proximity in time of the convention? -John (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) I'd attend. Likely drag my wife with me, but might not due to costs. (this dammed island is so expensive to get off of!) (...) Advantage...LLC (...) Not so likely. No 'home' group to organize I'd think either twin cities or LLC or NMRA (...) (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) James makes a good point. It would be nice to have a "host" group in situ. Here is my concern doing it in LL San Diego: we all would want to go there instead of our own thing! BTW, how long of an event are we talking here? A long weekend? A (...) (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains.org)

This sounds awesome. I don't know how the NGLTC could get all of our stuff out to Cali, it fills my van to the top as it is. That would be a hell of a road trip with the van packed full. But I guess I could rent a trailer or something. No matter, (...) (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) This would be a great occasion to all meet. I could bring some tracks if we go for the Guiness. But I would prefer more "central" than Colorado, more like somewhere in the MidWest. After all, the have guns that far west. ;-) Martin Quebec, (...) (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) I'd have to agree about the central location. Have you thought about Indianapolis as the site? Granted, I'm rather biased, but it is centrally located and 7 interstate routes run out from it (I65NS, I70EW, I74EW, I69N). It has an international (...)

(...) What a great idea! In terms of locations my first vote would go for Carlsbad as many people could combine their pilgrimmage to the Park with this great conference idea. Otherwise I'd say that Kansas City is a bit more centrally located (...) (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains.org)

Steve Barile: (...) If you mean the "International" part in the title seriously, I would count Billund (and possibly Windsor and Carlsbad) as the obvious locations. (...)
