[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by pnevell</i> <br /><br />I am new to Large scale, and luckily live in the Chicago area, so I was thrilled with the opportunity to attend! My wife and I stayed at Pheasant Run to maximize our experience and it sure payed off. We met many railroaders and vendors and visited as many layouts as was possible. <br />I can't think of anything that could have been done any better. The committee that ran it was very well organized, the convention booklet was superb, the clinics were well done, and access to the vendors to exchange ideas and see the products in person, was a not to be missed opportunity. <br />I have visited many NMRA and Narrow gauge conventions, and this was far superior. The people are nicer, and it was better run! <br />Anyway I left for home with a car full of new purchases and a head full of new ideas. <br />I have to redesign part of my layout now, after seeing how others did things. My wife was struck by the possibilities in the garden side of things. She talked to many other women on the tours about which plants they used successfully. She is at the local nursery as I write this. <br />All in all we enjoyed every part of it and are planning to attend in the future. <br />Paul and Michele Nevell <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Paul, I'm unsure as to why but Large scale seems to draw couples. They also for some strange reason friendlier with "get togethers" rather then operating sessions.
