Hi,
Glazz74 will be showing his layout at the Seattle Science Center train show January 19-21. It would be great to arrange a meetup for those of us in the region. I plan on being there to help with setup and through Saturday. We were thinking Saturday afternoon for a meet with it maybe continuing with a meal after the show closes at 6.

Sounds like a great idea Tim. I do wish I would be able to find time to attend but it is 850 miles away :'(

Yeah, that's our problem in the US in general, everyone is so far apart. It's a 6 hour drive for me to Seattle, but it's worth it. I can combine a couple of other things to do while there. It does require an overnight stay for me though. You should all just move to Eugene so we can do more stuff together. Martin Milner moved here from London, why not you too? :P

we have an aunt in Bend oregon so I was trying to figure out if I could kill two birds with one stone :eh?:

Bumping this up. We will be doing the meetup part on the afternoon of Saturday January 19th there at the Science Center in Seattle. We will probably try going to dinner after the show area closes. We will start set up late Friday if anyone wants to stop by to help out. let us know beforehand on that. I am planning on doing a Dinosaur Roadside Attraction in part of the layout which should be fun. It will only be there through Saturday, then I will have to pack up my part and head back to Oregon. The show runs through the Monday holiday.
There is a great new video of the December show Glazz74 did on YouTube. It's at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNNzY9pCHaI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNNzY9pCHaI)

thanks for the info ;) and video

It was great fun last time. I'm a "maybe" for this year.
-
I'm going to come for the setup and try to come Saturday as well.
-
thank for the video, tim. what an excellent video. just great! is this the sole playmobil train exhibit at the show? (it's hard to imagine room for more!)
-
Probably the only one. There is one other person in the region who does them but I don't believe he does this show ever.
I've managed to extend my stay a day so will be at the show through Sunday, it runs through Monday and the exhibit will be up the entire time, just my dinos part will be taken down at the end of Sunday.
-
Okay, I got Saturday off so I can be there to see the trains and the dinos. I can be there in the afternoon. Where are we going to dinner when the dinos go to sleep for the night?
-
Wonderful, it will be great to see you. Probably the sports bar burger place across the street.
I am here in Seattle now. I missed my exit off the freeway and it only took me an hour and a half to get back to the hotel. I was thinking they must have run out of room for more one way streets with no left turns and weird dead ends, but then when I got to the hotel the street was blocked for construction, so I guess there was room after all. I am not moving my truck again until I leave Monday.

You are a big Tyranosaurus Rex. You should have gotten out of your truck and knocked all the obstructions out of your way with your tail. (That's what dragons do.)
Because I hate driving in Seattle so much, I'll be taking the ferry and the monorail to get to the Seattle Center.
