I've had some good response to this which is great. I do have a question
about how much space we will have. I was noticing that the train room is
a smaller room this year. If our space won't be too big, I will probably
reduce the track I bring (and either bring other stuff, or have luggage
which is easier to handle). I would appreciate it if folks who will be
bringing stuff could let me know quantities they could bring (and how
easy it is for you - for example, local folks can probably bring all
they've got, if I brought all my track, I might not have room for
anything else [actually, some of my track will probably be going into a
local display here]).
I do want to try and make sure we have all the accessories.
I plan on spending much of the July 4th extended weekend building stuff
to bring, and generally getting ready.
Frank
