Winter 1995/Vol 2, no 4 Dear Friends: The holiday season has come upon us faster than I thought possible
but in a very real sense, I've already had my Christmas. Franco Vellani has confirmed that he and some friends will be
attending RailCon `96. Mr. Vellani, the designer of several wonderful
18xx variants, will be our guest-of-honor and I know that he will
make an exciting addition to the convention. He and I have opened
a dialogue on his 18xx club in Italy and the tournaments he holds
there. I hope to publish this information in a future issue of
the TGG. I know that we are all curious about what our fellow
train gamers in Europe are up to these days. The number of renewals that the TGA is receiving this season is
my second gift. While only a few renewals trickle in a day, they
add up to a steadily increasing number. And a number of you have
been kind enough to include notes or bits of info about railroading
or train gaming in your area. I feel as if I have friends all
over the world, now, and what a wonderful feeling it is, too! The rail tour associated with RailCon is always my biggest nightmare--not
because I dread the thing but because I feel as if I am on tenterhooks
as people register. Who will register? When? Will we have enough
people to make the tour viable? So, I want to thank all of you
who have already sent in deposits or have written me to tell me
you plan to. That's just one more little thing off my mind. Three great gifts from you to me in this lovely season. I hope
your Christmas goes as well as mine seems to be. From me and all the folks on the board of the TGA: Merry Christmas! P.S. Buy those train prints by KC Lancaster (only $10 each) and
help the TGA make enough to operate through next year! Home | The Manifest | All Aboard | Train Gamers Gazette Questions or comments? Email tgatrains@aol.com. The contents of this Web Site are copyright © 1998 by The Train
