This is one of those photo galleries that makes me depressed (wait!) but also
spurs me on to do Lego stuff. I look at it and think, I could never do that, but
of course its not just the work of one person and if I work as part of a team I
CAN do it!
The photos are the most consistantly excellent I have seen of a train show and
there have been some good ones. The extensive use of the minifig veiwpoint both
engages you in their world and also makes the layout seem huge. Careful planning
of shots means that you can’t see the edge of the ‘world’ and also splits the
layout up.
I’m interested in how you acheive all this, I see from the site that you have about fifteen members (or is that just the main members?) Do
you meet regularly and do you have a base to build together in or is it all done
individually and brought together for the shows? Do you have ‘club’ Lego such as
the track or is again all owned by individuals. My knowledge of US geography
isn’t that great, how geographically spread out are you?
The reason I ask is because I imagine you to be roughly similar in spread and
numbers to active train members of the UK Brickish Association but the whole
style of layout (especially in consistancy of direction) seems different (please
note, any Brickish Association members reading this that I am not critisising,
and am in no position to do so anyway as I have not contributed anything to the
layout, YET) and I was wondering whether a difference in organisation, or maybe
the fact that you see each other often (do you?), or perhaps simply national
attitudes to model railway building were the cause.

PS, one thing tho’, where are all the trains?
