Thanks, we have asked to set up at the Danville, IN show the 21st of November.  Hope to hear back from the layout coordinator soon.  Mike

Best of luck on the "un-club" Mike!  I'm sure you'll attract a following with your show set-ups.  Bow

A friend and myself(both autistic) are going to start what I call an unclub. No dues, no bylaws, no modular/permanent layout. Just a loose knit group that takes several show tables, covers them with green table cloths and builds a layout at shows and anywhere else we want. The size and features depend on what each of us bring. No tmac or digital, just old fashioned ZW power. I am also running my prewar OO Lionel's if others want to explore that unique gauge.  My live steam group does this with excellent results, only difference is the modular layout. But most on the spectrum either don't drive or have a place to store a layout. The vintage O scale folks in the UK do this type of temporary layout at shows all the time. Right now it's just 2 of use using mostly my trains and ZW.  Mike the Aspie
