Hahaha @greg. I have too many bricks now!
May 12, 2021 at 8:15 am #39304Benjamin C GoodParticipantI found this guy on Flickr, he lives in Sydney, and posts of a lot of Lego display photos (apparently there’s a lot of Lego events in southeast Australia other than Brickvention), and a lot of travel photos. This one is called ‘Lego factory tour in Jiaxing China 2018’.
If there’s a story behind this pic that I know about, I don’t remember it. I’m curious as to how we ended up front and center on this photo. Did somebody in our group sign the brick and send it to them? How’d that come about?

Wait, wait… you have to PAY to use the room?!?

I have the vaguest recollection of maybe we were at a con somewhere and someone had people signing bricks…? It’s not my handwriting… anyone recognize your Sharpie work??
May 12, 2021 at 5:29 pm #39312TimModeratorNot my handwriting but whoever did, good job!
May 24, 2021 at 12:57 pm #39378Greg SchubertParticipantI am looking into conducting an energy audit of a church. Does @zbauer (or anyone else) know of a cost effective way to do this?
There is an “Energy Doctor” in Westmoreland County who seems very experienced but also very expensive.
May 25, 2021 at 8:06 am #39383Jim RolfeParticipantLook like TLG released a new stud and plate parts pack today. Interesting colors and good price, $250 for 11,000 pieces! Woah….

I’m intrigued @greg! I did a little bit of it in school. I could probably help out with everything that can be observed outside of a blower door test (the analysis part of materials, energy bills, etc.) then you could just hire someone to do a blower door test if needed to understand the air changes of the building.
I didn’t run an energy analysis on the Lego church I built but I imagine it would be poor since the entire back was left open to the elements!
May 26, 2021 at 4:30 am #39398Greg SchubertParticipant@zbauer, let me know when you are back in the ‘burgh and I’ll show you several issues, ex. having boilers that turn on when its 80+ degrees outside and no one has been in the building for hours
May 26, 2021 at 6:51 am #39399Zach BauerParticipant@greg sounds good. I’ll bring my ghostbusters equipment also just in case 😉
Should be either July or August but I’ll let you know.
June 4, 2021 at 12:11 pm #39524JoshKeymasterAnyone have a dark bluish gray bird they can part with? Sold one on bricklink for a guy who wants to meet in cranberry tomorrow and I only have dark gray. Came in these sets:

I’ll happily backfill it for you, just need something to give him tomorrow.
June 20, 2021 at 4:21 pm #39680Tom FrostParticipantDoes anybody have a recent picture of the PAB menu at the Ross Park store?
June 20, 2021 at 5:24 pm #39681Greg SchubertParticipantDoes anybody have a recent picture of the PAB menu at the Ross Park store?
No, but what part are you thinking about?
June 20, 2021 at 8:52 pm #39682Tom FrostParticipantJonah and I are working on a project and need a bunch of things. I wanted to see what was on the PAB to be able keep working quicker than waiting for a BL order.

@tfdesigns, I took this on June 5th, the day of the Q2 meeting, so it’s a couple of weeks old.Attachments:

Is this the big WhiteTron display or is it something else?
June 21, 2021 at 5:54 am #39691Greg SchubertParticipantI took this on June 5th
The part labeled #6, https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=35480&colorID=69, tends to evaporate.
The part labeled #47, https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=11213&colorID=34, makes a really cool torus if you only click one side together. I’m not sure how many cups of parts that would require though.
June 21, 2021 at 8:12 am #39700Tom FrostParticipant@bengood921 nope…that is still in the works but not presently making much progress…this is something else entirely.
@rcgrier3406 thanks, Bob, that helps!June 21, 2021 at 11:31 am #39705Jim RolfeParticipantJonah and I are working on a project and need a bunch of things. I wanted to see what was on the PAB to be able keep working quicker than waiting for a BL order.
If it is on the PAB wall, I might have it. Let me know what you need @tfdesigns.
June 21, 2021 at 8:46 pm #39731Tom FrostParticipantThanks @tcsbgdady, we actually stopped by the store today anyway.
June 21, 2021 at 8:48 pm #39732Benjamin C GoodParticipant>> we actually stopped by the store today anyway.
What, and we don’t get a pic of your haul for the day?
June 28, 2021 at 9:01 pm #39772JoshKeymasterdidn’t we have a “crazy prices on brinklink” thread? I can’t seem to find it.
I remember I bough 4 of these back in 2012 or so to build a small highmark building. I paid $12 each from germany.
They sold for $20 today.
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3685#T=C&C=2only in some rare set from legoland california, it seems.
July 14, 2021 at 1:38 pm #39938Greg SchubertParticipantDoes anyone have sets of train wheels to sell? I need like six of these, with or without the bogie plates.

I have one of the older style like you show, three with the plow, and 9 others with sealed magnets (probably all type 2). I have enough wheels and yellow bogie plates to make 10 sets. I may have more black bogie plates somewhere but only found 5 in a quick search.
Edit: Link goes to train but not to buffers specifically. Just search for the term buffer and you can get where I intended.

July 15, 2021 at 5:25 pm #39959Greg SchubertParticipantDoes anyone remember that LUG members had once planned a trip to the LEGO store at Beachwood Mall (near Cleveland) and were going to stop at a LEGO parts store along the way? What was the second-hand / after-market store?
