Secondly, if the fellow who talked to the show organizer comes with his Lego
layout next year, and we see the LaCrosse club bring their layout again and
we drive down there with three layouts, we’re going to have about 1/3rd of
the show floor in Lego train layouts. I am thinking it may be time to start
thinking about how we’d organize an actual Lego Train Show instead of
crashing the Model train show and winning all of their awards. Anyone in
this group ever put together a Lego train show or a Model train show that
would be willing to share some insight into what sort of organization is
needed and the rough outline of the project?

Interesting question. Currently, many LTCs show at the NMRA National
Convention these past years- you remember THAT show, huh, J-3? (the GMLTC was
the first LTC to show at the NMRA National Convention)
But is there critical mass yet to host an independent LEGO train show. I’m
not sure. Speaking as one who has attended all of the ILTCO ones, they have
worked out just great in my mind.

So I hunted a bit this morning. I kinda think you could pull this off here in
Minneapolis. It would have to be a smaller setting, but I’m not sure that the
Jackson Street Roundhouse would have enough space to give. Don’t / didn’t we
have some clubs who had some experience doing this sort of thing at a mall?
Interesting link I found.

It would be fun to try to pull off. I don’t know that we’d get the same sort of
vendors that a real model train show would get, but we’d certainly have a good
demographic in terms of market for toy stores, hobby stores, etc. I know Judy
does a stiff business in LaCrosse. Security and location would seem like the
stickers followed shortly by communication that event was happening. It’s
something I’ll have to think about for a while.
