That was a fun list. 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.
Welcome, Steve. Hope to see you at future events!

@schu54321 that Atom Smasher is smashing!!!
very interesting in all parts of this
want to learn LUG pricing, need a motive to use STUD.IO, and to learn what/how that thing did its thing
So Josh – You actually know how to design and build things right? The atom smasher was the first instance of a Van De Graaf generator / particle accelerator. Highly cool. I just emailed my Westinghouse contacts telling them that I do not have the “Magic Happens Here” skill set to get from the idea in my head to a finished product. Are you interested? I would love to put you in touch with Jenna if you are. Last night the farthest I could get in my head was that it MIGHT be possible to do what they want on a 48×48 MILS, which is what I have my AP1000 containment building on.
But then I descended into a state of abject panic and anxiety realizing that I had no idea how to approach designing and building the rest. It really does not make any sense for me to even be involved as I would just be slowing down someone who actually does know what they are doing.
Thanks Josh and Bob for your comments!!
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!! I would love to be able to connect someone with this opportunity and stand down.That video is amazing! Bravo
@playingwithechoes awesome nuclear train there. 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?
Those are so nice. I would like to live in the little red one on the bottom, kind of like a Tiny House.
Congratulations! Great news!
Welcome Wrigley, looking forward to seeing you at a future event. This is a great group.
Thanks so much @gabevistica!!
Can anyone tell me what this piece is called? 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. So I painstakingly replaced all the pieces but this with real LEGO. If anyone knows what it is called or a part number, I would appreciate it.

I’m testing if I can reply to this thread because the last time I tried, it disappeared.
