I’ve signed up for Mon/Tue setup and final teardown as those should be pretty solid for me, and I’ll definitely pick up a few more shifts as the event gets closer.

CSC Locomotion Weekend 2025
Jan 17 - Jan 19
Carnegie Science Center's Locomotion Weekend for 2025. The focus is on train/town.
Shifts Layouts Cups View Shifts (7)
Empty Shifts - 0
Participants - 5@greg these are the few pictures I have
Exact availability is still TBD but I want to staff at least a couple days for this, both weekday and weekend.
The inventory page is loading mostly blank for me on multiple devices, I only see the page header and links, no actual inventory stuff.
Can I get a discord invite link?
The Discord link is in the righthand sidebar, just below the topic lists.
Welcome Michael!
Bird MOCs sounds awesome! I’m hoping to eventually do some flowers, the botanical sets are SO COOL. Are you aware of Bricklink and similar sites as well for buying bricks? They’re often (but not always!!) cheaper than PAB Online, even when factoring in shipping costs.
I will have my crane again, which is roughly a 2×2 square of 32×32 baseplates (64×64 or 20″x20″) but a little more space to drive around in would be nice. I have more chains now and can actually pick up small solid builds so I can always make my own extra space if needed 😉
I also have a brick-built LUG logo brick and should have a lifting rig for it by show time, so I have this idea of semi-continuously restacking one or more of the logos.
I think the hitch is in which message you need to react to for AFOL/TFOL; there’s two messages that both appear to be for those roles and I think only the newer one works.
You need to get one or more roles by reacting to messages in the #react-for-roles channel, then you’ll be able to talk.
Another display option involving a rotating base would be to keep the two blank sides (or omit them entirely) and stack 8 or 12 of the bricks together in a 2×2 configuration.
Now I’m wondering how doable the rotating base would be in a Technic…
@randomdan Jan 25/26 is International Lego Day too D:
How early is too early to show up on Saturday?
Also, does anyone have a half dozen or so long Lego chains (the ones that are around 16-17 studs) that they can bring? I realized just last night that I only have 2 so it would be tough to actually pick up anything!
I 100% plan to be there.
Just curious, is there a need to know how many are coming before shifts are created (so I don’t forget to sign up for a shift)? In my never-led-an-event mind, the number of shifts would be roughly based on the available space to display builds and to stand around the tables talking with Con attendees and helping builders, and it wouldn’t be a big deal if not all the shifts are filled.
