I selected some that are more aspirational right now than real. Also @bengood921 first you made me laugh out loud with your comment about sorting. Then you made me cringe – because I did select Time Cruisers, only because I know for sure that one or more of my son’s old sets are Time Cruisers. I hope you’ll still be my friend.

Long story short, Westinghouse reached out to me to see if I could give them a proposal to design and build a LEGO Westinghouse Atom Smasher that they can keep.

The atom smasher was the first instance of a Van De Graaf generator / particle accelerator. Highly cool.

Overnight my left brain has caught up with my right brain. It actually makes way more sense for me to take myself out of the loop and instead serve as the intermediary to connect someone in the LUG, who already has the ability to do this, with Jenna at Westinghouse. Is anyone interested? I really hope so!!…Read more

Today I received an email from my Westinghouse contact, Jenna Slimm, asking me for a proposal to build an Atom Smasher. I need advice on doing the proposal and I would love help from someone who could partner with me or advise me on using Stud.io to design it.

Do you want to exhibit it at the American Nuclear Society outreach table at the Vintage Grand Prix? I’m planning to be there with my reactor, cooling tower and microscale AP1000 plant on Saturday and Sunday July 18 and 19. Or any of your other nuclear stuff?

I recently received a nice nuclear power plant set that was designed by a third-party provider who did not supply real LEGO bricks in the set.
