									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>John, definitely looks like it would be worth a try! I like that it uses all LEGO parts. Driving it with a laptop or computer isn&#8217;t as ideal as storing everything on the hub, but it seems like it would be worth it since it would yield such a dynamic layout.</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Josh and I took things to trolley, it was about equal to one full van load and the back of an SUV. I should be able to make it to teardown and can bring a van load of stuff to Josh&#8217;s. As Josh says, if there are items going to Greenberg that don&#8217;t have to go to Josh&#8217;s, that would be helpful. </p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.steelcitylug.com/members/timf/" rel="nofollow ugc">@timf</a>, I am not sure if the LUG has a stockpile of tan baseplates, but I have some that could be used if needed. I have 11 16&#215;32 and 1 16&#215;16 tan baseplates. Alternatively, I have 36 16&#215;16 tan plates. Is this something you need ahead of time or at setup?</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Personally, I would leave it the way it is for now to see how it works in a display. My guess is that if you bring the whole thing forward half a table or place it near a corner of the layout, people will be able to see it well enough. After you get a display weekend done, then maybe update as needed based on how people react, how reliably it runs, etc.</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am fine with hanging on to them for now to see if a project materializes. Overall, I don&#8217;t think the LUG should be in the business of stockpiling materials just for the sake of doing so. If a project doesn&#8217;t materialize over the next few months, I think it would make sense to have them redeemable.</p>

<p>This auction has pretty strict requirements for pickup on May 11 from 3-7 in Penn Hills so I can&#8217;t participate. Assuming the boxes aren&#8217;t empty and not all the baseplates are broken, this could end up being a good deal.</p>
