Ricky,
I have to be in Dallas at a family get-together on Saturday, 25th. Firm committment. That's why I couldn't attend the Fun Run. So I can't attend the store event. but, I think it's a great idea and if you would like to reschedule it for the next weekend I'll attend and bring the Legacy Big Boy and the new Legacy GS-4 Daylight. Or if you would like to schedule an additional session we could do it then.
Also, reference our conversation at the store earlier this week, I would be happy to host an operating session on my layout but only if the TTAT Club Officers think it's a good idea. I don't want to be seen as competing with club events but rather as encouraging participation and offering more options so as to heighten interest in model railroading and in the club. I'm currently doing fairly extensive modifications to my layout and expect to complete them by Mid-August. So this might be something to consider for the fall. At that point the layout will be capable of an 80 feet point to point run from turntable to turntable with several sidings between for set-outs and pickups while having over 100 ft of combined mainline loops to build larger passenger or freigh consists and put them out on the main line and parade them. Probably enough items to have simple operating sessions that will keep three or four guys busy.
Regards,
Bill Lohman

In case you haven't heard already the Collectible Caboose recently expanded into the vacant suite next door where we had the club layout setup. With that expansion we have built a new O scale layout which is basically complete save for scenery. We've gotten some new stuff in including the new Legacy System from Lionel along with some of the legacy equipped engines.
Since we canceled the fun run that was scheduled for this weekend I thought maybe everyone that was planning on attending it could instead come up on Saturday and see the newly expanded store and get a chance to learn about and see the Legacy system in action on the new store layout.
