    Heads up. The 2024 Brick Train Awards are open. If anyone has great photos and overviews of the train layouts from either the CSC or Home and Garden Show this year, please share the link as my photos tend to focus on everyone’s trains running. I can submit on behalf of Steel City LUG and include the video tour I made, but I need good overview still photos. Top prizes include nice custom track that the LUG can certainly use.

    @playingwithechoes, I looked thru mine, and unfortunately pretty much all of the overview photos were taken before we added the trains, and in some cases with blank spaces before all of the MOC’s were installed!

    Here’s a couple from CSC Locomotion Weekend 2024, but I’m not sure it’s what you’re looking for.

    Does anybody recognize the red part prominently featured in this build? Do we know if it’s real Lego, and do we know what it’s called on BL? I looked under Brick, Round; Cone; Container; Cylinder; Dish; Plate, Round; Slope, Curved; Tile, Round; and, in desperation, Wedge. And then, after typing this, even more desperately, Scala. I still haven’t found it.

    If it’s not a 2×2 round plate, it’s a 2×2 round tile with open stud.

    Thanks, I see it now. I thought the red was all one part, I can barely see the seam between the two parts, especially compared to the gray ones. But I zoomed in on the max resolution and it’s definitely there.

    I’m a little disappointed though, I would’ve bought that part.

    I guess I’ve been living under a rock the past few years. I was talking to @burikmodeldesign this past weekend and he told me that oyo was out of business. I didn’t realize that lego sued them for the minifig copyright.

    wonder what’s going on with all those major sports licenses now, certainly for stadiums.

    The haul from a minifig drug bust … must have been selling MEK!

    Probably not worth its own thread, so I’ll hijack this one.

    From what I can see, registration is for a virtual zoom and free. Also seems he’s spinning off his own brand instead of Lego.

    I’m intrigued. His product looks the same but 3/4 the size and a number of his designs seem to be endorsed by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. I registered just to see what he covers.

    way to hijack, greg.

    …there’s a thread for that…

    and @greg created it!

    Don’t not fall for this! These will NOT stop your bubbles from popping. I wanted to write to this guy and say “you’re killin’ me.”

    But seriously, I had an interesting conversation with a postal clerk yesterday. She said that packages need to be able to withstand a six foot drop because at the sorting facility they have a bucket (like a backhoe) which lifts and dumps packages onto a conveyor belt. She used to work there taping packages back together and inserting little notes about how they were sorry that the package was damaged.

    The historian at the Neil Armstrong museum pointed out that the only kind of heat transfer that works on the moon is radiation. There is no atmosphere, so convection, ie. propellors blowing air to cool something down, wouldn’t work. In other words, space fans do not exist.

    >> I saw this at TJMAxx

    To me, the most fascinating part of this is “plus a 32-page mini book describing his surprising origins.” Is this really a story that requires 32 pages to tell? Maybe it is. But I’m not sure I want to gamble $13 on it, considering that it would most likely end in disappointment.

    Last year I saw an article online where they interviewed the design team that came up with those eight-foot tall Halloween skeletons, it was billed as “behind the scenes”. But it basically boiled down to “we wanted to make a really big skeleton”. Which is cool, but not really worthy of its own article.

    It seems unusual that someone with this name would have LEGO.

    The guy who owns that company reached out to me a few months ago and asked me to work as a model designer for him, but I turned him down. As much as I would like to get paid to design models, I was very conflicted about them being imitation Lego.
