I made a mistake and I hope you all will be able to adjust. The load in day to drive on the floor is Tuesday. Not monday. I’ll remove the shift, but want to make sure you all know the change in the day. It’s always been Tuesday in previous years, I just wasn’t thinking clearly when I made the shifts.
Thanks to Bob for catching it.
@carlsonf @watchwmarcella @timf @gabevistica @tbrown00 @willmcdinehere’s the paper you will need if you want to be able to drive onto the floor on Tuesday morning. It needs to be put on your dashboard. As with every year before, show up, wait in line at the loading dock ramp and just tell them you’re with the LEGO user group displaying trains out in the carpeted lobby area. They’ll figure it out, but usually they take us all the way down to entrance A.
veritasium is one of my favorite youtube channels. Here’s everything you didn’t know about QR codes. Thanks, Greg, for being on the forefront of technology!
Laura did cut down those 4 48”x48” tables to match 4×4 baseplates (metric, not 40”x40”) so those could work well with the long runs with the mega tables to make sure baseplates match up well.
So that’s 17 40” tables, 4 perfect 4 baseplate tables, and 2 mega tables (9×4 baseplates)
That’s awesome, Bob!
This attached pic also came in over social media – let me know if you need anything from the LUG to follow up
Thanks everybody for making this event possible! There was A LOT of social media traffic and new likes to the Facebook page. And bob’s incline has been together for years and just now getting that reach out- just to show you it’s not about the freshest builds, it’s about good builds that people relate to! Don’t ever hesitate to keep displaying work you/anyone is proud of!
Also, thanks for getting everything divvied up to take home. I’ll post in the home and garden thread, but the idea will be to help get what was there to the convention center so that we can skip needing a uhaul from my house for set up.
@rcgrier3406, I can bring my giant Lambo tractor to take over either front 32×32 blank corner (the one based on Clarkson’s Farm). Do you or @joshhall have any plant parts that would look good for a farm row? I think I have some reddish brown 1×8 plates I could use behind my seed drill.
When I arrive early on Saturday to set up the big trains, I’ll get that tractor on the corner and set up the rows of dirt or plants. I’ll just need a green 32×32 module ready in place.
I’m late here – just late enough to not being annoying? I have 3 32×32 baseplates with brown surface that are mostly covered for a wheat field. I designed them to be arranged in any array – 1×3 or an an L. they can rotate appropriately.
Yep. The event needed to be closed out. @laura, I closed it and filled out the questions like number of public to the best of my ability, but please do review and update those details or if shifts needed to be changed for anyone. You can close again to reconcile cups for anyone
Hey all!
Here’s another track find from Marketplace, not sure if the price is good or not:
oops, I did it again.
$230 and the dude will ship it to me. I’ll validate it all when it comes in and likely look for the lug to reimburse.
added the shifts.

1) anyone want to list out what needs to be taken for locomotion and take it?
2) @laura is anything remaining good to be picked up at some to be determined point in time?I will not be able to be at tear down since I’ll be driving to Amanda’s parents for the holidays.

I see no offense (or humor) there 🙂
Hope the mods respond with a valid reason! It’s just not Christmas without a Greg build! They should know that.
wait, that’s a lie. I see @argonvesher for friday with gabe. I’ll tell her friday.
@gabevistica @laura the observer reporter is interested in taking pictures of the display. I’m going to tell them saturday or sunday, since there’s no one currently staffing friday.
They walk alike, they talk alike, sometimes they even build alike.
That a paraphrase of the theme song for The Patty Duke Show which you are too young to have seen / remember. 😀
Thanks for catching it. I watched a lot of Nick at nite and such when I was a kid.
oh yeah…i forgot about what I was trying to do there…I was trying to make a member map and zip codes are the only way for me to do that, rather than everyone putting in “pittsburgh” or “north side”, etc…I’ll pick that back up eventually.
I made a bunch of updates this weekend, and it should make redeeming on pc and phone a lot easier. also viewing/searching/sorting sets and lug owned MILS a lot easier too. I made more additions to the zeitgeist too. https://www.steelcitylug.com/v2/?p=yearlyreport
Thanks for the note! I’ve been playing with v2 this week, and should have it up by tomorrow night. I fixed v1, but here’s a teaser: https://www.steelcitylug.com/v2/?p=catview
I thought for sure I had a thread for this already, but I can’t find it. We are confirmed for it already.
We could double do a single C shape of r40 outer loop with using the wide radius RC on a double inner loop (counter-interuitive, i know) so we can have the bridge still. Very crude and not to scale visualization attached.
