I also think a contributing factor was that a lot of your baseplates were not snapped to grid, so they were creating collisions that rejected placement. I went in the layout and adjusted all of them and filled it in.

and Claude took your feedback, Gabe. Thanks for that. Here’s a generated release…Read more

Track snapping especially — it’s brand new and we’d like to hear how it holds up on a real layout.

@playingwithechoes – still working on the multilug functionality. I just won’t be able to test it before I leave for a week or so.

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?

We could still incorporate the bridge (maybe along the front or back lengths) but that would eat up a fair amount of display space.

If U shaped layout, trains need big enough turn around, especially for the big ones. Standard trains, obviously much tighter is okay.

Getting the rest of the modulars installed, adding landscaping, vehicles and minifigs, and of course getting all the rolling stock on the rails really helped fill out the display. But that’s nothing compared to what things looked like once all that rolling stock was in motion!!

Here’s a link to some…Read more

The current layout shows (4) 9v loops, and we currently only have (3) sets of speed regulators/connecting wires/power supplies coming. @jupdyke has some of the LUG’s connecting wires for repairs, but we don’t know where he had a chance to do that yet. Thanks!

We can get in at 9:00 am on Saturday morning to do any final set up prior to opening at 10:00 am. The great thing about Lego displays is that we can continue to tinker throughout the event!

Priorities on Friday will be to get the tables and banners set up, make sure we have sufficient power as needed (for…Read more

The loading dock is on ground floor on the Casino side of the building, and the room where this event is taking place is on the third floor of the new addition, which is at the opposite end of the building (maybe ~300 ft.). They have carts, and there’s a…Read more

We can talk more about this at Q3, but wanted to get a few things rolling before then.

For anyone who can’t make it but wants to display, I thought maybe we could set up North, South, East, and West drop-offs (kind of reverse of what we did for LUGBULK). I’m happy being a drop for the North, but if anyone…Read more
