Thanks, Tetters! I'll keep you guys informed as to how it goes, but all indications are that it will be a good experience.
I was talking with a couple of the members about building a 2'x4' diorama to take photos on while I build the layout proper. I mentioned that It would be fun to try some scenery techinues, since none of my previous attempts at building a layout ever got that far. I was asked what materials I was planning to use. I mentioned I was thinking of trying the new scenic techniques using 2" foam, if I could find it here locally. I was told they have a boxcar on a siding in Ft. Myers where they store all kinds of stuff, and that they have a bunch of 2'x8'x2" "logs" of foam that they sell to members for $4 each and since I'm now a member ... I said, "Cool!"
And, BTW, I did talk up "Big Blue at The-Gauge" at every opportunity, even passed out a few cards I made up by hand lettering 3x5 card halves (I needed the lettering practice!) with all the pertinent data, including the URL, on them. Who knows, maybe we'll get a new member or two!
