 | | Apathy? (was: WAMALUG's GATS Layout was a huge success!)
|
| Why has there been such apathy towards Wamalug's train shows? In the past month, there have been a total of nine messages from non-members about our setups. There has been absolutly no discussion, no critiques, and very little praise. Do you all (...)

| I just got word today that the local NMRA has room for our club at their show this March. They didn't give me much notice (less than 12 days) but I'm scrambling to put together a small layout for the show. I expect the layout to be smaller than (...)

If the rumors about a Trains-meets-Mindstorms product line are true, that will (hopefully) address the need (...) (27 years ago, 28-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.trains)
| | | | | WAMALUG's GATS Layout was a huge success!
|
| As you may've heard, WAMALUG displayed a layout at The Great American Train Show held over the weekend in Gaithersburg, Maryland. It was a *huge* success, and we tied for Third place (out of seven or so). We had one of the largest crowd draws, with (...)
