 | | December Update
|
| Okay, it appears that 2007 is shaping up to be a busy one for the TCLTC. We have decided to attend BrickWorld in Chicago and bring the layout as well. So, we will have LaCrosse in March and BrickWorld in June to tune up for Detroit in July. We have (...) (18 years ago, 12-Dec-06, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)

Ideally, you'd want nice, perpendicular shots of your buildings from the front and sides to create the best effect-- Ross had to use some pretty bad shots to get these, but I think they (...)

| | | | | Re: New TCLTC Web Site: LUGNET!
|
| Great idea! Not only will that keep your LUG site updated, it will also make it a lot easier to get in touch or ask a question. Also nice to see your faith in the mother LUG- Lugnet.

| (...) This is definitely cool. It's a much clearer way to see the table layout than you can easily get from viewing a photo. I like the way the banners around the table look slightly rippled. Was that intentional, or is it just from using a photo of (...) (18 years ago, 4-Dec-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.cad, FTX)

I've used CAD programs before to study the relationships between buildings on the (MichLTC) layout from various perspectives. Nothing as graphically fancy as what (...)

But then again, since it's a model of a toy made out of toys, that was probably the goal :) Serious, I think that trolley car is the only reason I used to watch that show. Very (...)
