(...) What an interesting debate....personally I was a "townie" before ever buying a train set.....but I think that was due to financial considerations when I was younger..... now adays, my budget is more heavily spent on Trains.... and I should be (...)

(...) But what J-2 *isn't* saying is that the first show for the new GMLTC layout is NOT a 'train show', it is a large Scandanavian Festival in Minot, North Dakota. We're building for the target audience! And even our 'town' sections will have two (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains.org)

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.

James and All, (...) Well, I am talking from a MichLUG view, and the layouts I have seen at the shows, and of the various clubs who have had pictures and the like up.
