Actually, this was an interLUG swap that took place early last summer.  Each
train group was asked to make a number of containers with their group's logo,
and then send them to the organizers (I believe it was the Florida Train Club?
Feel free to correct me ...).  They then split all of the containers up into 12
or 13 differents "sets", each set consisting of one container from each group,
and sent a set back to each group.

Since then, I know that one or two additional train clubs have arrived on the
scene.  I don't know, however, if there are any plans in the works to issue a
"second run" or not.  You could probably make it happen yourself, actually -
put together 15 or so containers with your club's logo, and contact someone
from each of the other groups to trade a container with you.  I'm sure most, if
not all, would love to add to their stockpile!

They are a great addition to all of the layouts ...

Shaun is correct.  This was a one-time container swap organized and
administered by KK Quah of GFLTC.  There have been a few new clubs to appear
since then that have requested "in" on this.

So here goes:  If any train club would like to exchange a set of stickers or
containers with NELUG, please contact me by e-mail (drvegetable@attbi.com)
to arrange a swap.  I will send you a set of NELUG stickers or a container
if you will do the same.  I can't speak for the other clubs, nor would I
presume to reproduce their stickers.  But I welcome representatives from the
other LTCs to step forward with a similar offer.

The container swap was a great idea.  It is a way for the different LTCs to
be present in some small way on one another's layouts.  Also, it looks more
realistic to have an assortment of containers in the rail yard.

Chris,

Not to sound ungrateful for your offer, but I still think it would be easier
to collect electronic versions of the container images.  That way we
wouldn't have to ship stuff around.  Each LUG or LTC could just print out
the images and build they're own containers.

Thought anyone?

(...) Here is a possible solution: Create an online depository for all the LTC or LUG logos used in the making of containers. Then include with each logo a dat file or some other means of describingthe specifications of the containter. eg. color (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.trains.org)
