All-
What about coordinating the conference with the NMRA show in San Jose next
summer? And if you'd like, I was a LEGO Master Model Builder five years ago.
Right now there are only three left in the U.S. The model shop went through
the fitness program as well.

I don't remember when the conference is though. When we exhibited last summer
at the NMRA show, they were very high on inviting us to San Jose. We've been
on them to help defray the cost of the transport. The layout right now is
transported in a twenty foot horse trailer. It's about 4/5 full right now top
to bottom. I'm going to snap some pics tomorrow with my cheapie digital
camera for the web site.

| Looks like we have our master builder speaker... The MNRA is a great tie-in. We should approach them with the idea of hosting an LTC side event at the same locale. A first pass proposel list might be: 1) Convention display space for a layout 2) A (...) (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains.org)
