How national is GATS? I mean: if we offer reference to the other clubs here who have done successful GATS shows will they know what we are talking about in regards to Lego train layouts? > And if you start actively participating in more train shows, nominate two > ILTCO reps and get on the ILTCO email list. I am all signed up with ILTCO and the ILTCO message board. Working my way through the messages will take a bit of time (100 down; 750 or so to go). Ed McGlynn has also offered to serve as an ILTCO rep for our group and I provided him with relavent sign-up info. What is the ILTCO email list?? Do you mean the Yahoo message board or somethin else? Ed McGlynn is working on a LUCNY handout for the upcoming show. It will be based upon handouts produced by other LTC's. Thanks, Lar, for providing those. I put in a request last week to LEGO via Jake McKee for a supply of Lego Train Catalogs. Have not received a reply as of yet. Hope we can get some in time for the show. Nate Jacobs has offered to handle the production of LUCNY cargo container stickers and I provided him contact info to get them to KK Quah as soon as they are done. Who do we ask about getting a full set of all club's containers for this GATS show? Once I know we will be getting a set of them I will whip up a few double-stack rail cars to haul them around on and probably some semi-trucks, too. Enough advanced notice might entice me to build a modest container transfer station for the layout (I should build one anyway). __Kevin Salm__ LUCNY

At the national level they are aware of the power of LEGO(r) and what clubs are consistently able to achieve once they (...) (22 years ago, 3-Dec-02, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.org.us.lucny)

(...) Best to post this to trains.org as that's where the other train clubs cross post stuff. Succinctly: If you go for contest, you are competing for a prize with/against the other layouts that selected contest as their choice. The rules and (...)
