| Hi all, I'll be in San Diego about the 6-12th of Nov period. Is there anything much going on? Would there be any interest in having a meeting? I know that the most likely date is the 9th of Nov, which is a Tuesday night. (sucks, but my floating gray (...)

|
| Mark's is an example of a layout where there are more bricks in the trains than the layout! But I agree with Larry that just because you put more bricks into your scenery it doesn't mean that's where the effort lies. My smallest engine, an 0-4-0 OF (...)

It is similar for my local non-Lego model railway club. For non-Lego railways, trains are easy if you're (...) (20 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)
| | | | | Re: More pictures!
|
| (...) Well, I think that too...most LTC's (in fact, most model railway clubs) are happy to have people who's main interest is not the trains, but on other parts that go with the trains. (...) hmm. I think that VLC probably has beaten that number. (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)
| | | | | Re: More pictures!
|
| (...) Perhaps. But to me it's not about absolute number of pieces, it's about build time per model. A good train model can take a lot of time. (Time does NOT equal pieces).
