Hey guys. Hope the show was a success! There is a planning wiki already in place for 2011 in Sacramento. http://nmra2011iltco.pbworks.com/ Russell BayLTC

For those coming to the show, please contact me with how many in your group are coming. My wife, Jane, wants to know if we will have enough to plan some kind of local event, probably on Friday night. Please call. Our office number is 262-783-5010 and our ...

Hi John- Got your message about not being able to come to the show. Can you give me a call? My work number is 262-783-5010 and my home number is 262-547-2528. Greg Blau Pewaukee Road Lego Train Line

It is with sadness to report that the TCLTC will not be able to show in Milwaukee after all. I had been looking forward to this show for three years, but as it turns out, I am just not going to be able to swing it financially. I look forward to pics an...

Does NMRA provide tables? I could bring plenty of ballasted track for yard space but I don't have any tables. Paul

We will have room around our layout, although it will be considerably smaller than you remember it. I've built a 12' display rack that will have empty space, so y'all are welcome to it! John

I and fellow PennLUG member Nate "Shuppiluliumas" Brill are interested = in coming. We won't be able to bring a layout (at least not unless other = PennLUG members decide to jump in) but we do have trains if some one has = some free yard space to donate.=...

Wow, it looks like only three? I thought that this was going to be the mother of all NMRA shows! People! Wassup with the folks in IL, OH, MN, and MI?

Hi Steve- Any idea how many hotel rooms we should reserve? I was thinking we should reserve a block of 15. What do you think? Jane has some pretty good ideas regarding hotels and will get back to you within a week or two with particulars. Greg

So are there going to be more than 3 layouts? Anybody decided on a hotel yet? Paul

I've truncated the TCLTC layout down to a lean 12.5' x 11'. I also have a tiered display that I would like to bring that measures 30" x 12.5' (2 6 foot tables, basically). That would best be displayed against a wall; it is completely separate from the lay...

Definitely sounds tempting, Paulie! Depending upon how set-up goes, I'd love to make the trip, and I'm sure Ross would love it, too!

I think a trip to the museum would be great.

The National Railroad Museum is in Green Bay about two hours north from Milwaukee. For you steam guys, they have a Big Boy ;). I am considering going the long way home on Monday and stopping for the day at the museum, any one else interested?

You might remember MY av pic-- I cropped you out because I didn't want to presume, but I can just as easily put you in there! LMK:-)

I'll bring whatever anyone else needs. I have plenty of Santa Fe and El Capitan cars, some TOFC and some Larry hoppers. I also have some cafe corner style buildings. I also have 60 baseplates work of dual line straight track that is ballasted two pl...

Thanks for the info, Paulie. So what exactly are you planning on bringing to the show?

Nice to see you made it John. The show is not at the airport, looks to be at least 10 miles from the airport on google maps. Paul

Steve, Can we find out what the convention table sizes are and if we can get a decent quantity of them? Mark and I have reworked our layout to fit convention tables so that we don't have to haul and setup tables. -Jeramy

So, are we literally walking distance from the airport/at the airport?

Boxes ect... can be brought in anytime, it maybe that driving into the hall may be limited. It depends on where we are located relative to the door. Let's collect some more questions and I'll send them together. SteveB

The Show Schedule shows layout setup on Wednesday and Exhibitor setup on Thursday. Can layouts be brought in on Thursday also?
