Well, I wouldn't say we are anymore "town" centric than the next non-LEGO
train club. I think a great club is made up of a good mix of town,
landscape, and trains (with wheels) -iacs. I like the train aspect of it all
but I do a bit of RCX stuff. I wouldn't consider soldiering reed switches
and sticking them into a hollow brick train related, but it was use in a
computer controlled train system.
