LEGO train club builders dont spend a lot of time or pieces on actual
trains. They instead spend their time and effort on the scenery around the >
trains.

John, James, and Larry-
I took Jordans message to mean LEGO train club builders dont have to spend
a lot of time or pieces on actual trains. His message clearly goes on to say
that as a non-train guy weve got him thinking that an LTC might be a good home
for him. And Jordan was right on the absolute scale about the quantity of pieces
-- I doubt there is an LTC anywhere that does a show with more pieces in the
trains than in the scenery. We can easily put 15,000 pieces in one building but
I think any club would be challenged to get 15,000 pieces on the tracks!
His post is a compliment to LTCs, not a knock on train builders.

I think that VLC probably has beaten that number. (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

| (...) I disagree (but not too loudly...) I worked on my last four locomotives nearly every week for almost a year total. The Challenger was at least six months of work, the SD-50 was 2 1/2 months, the "Hogwart's" was only a month. There's also a new (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)
