@rcgrier3406, any tips or pointers on commission work? The TL:DR of the project scope is an 18″ to…Read more

@joshhall I usually take the bus in but I drive occasionally. I have the box of table feet for you still, we need…Read more

@loganc I’m adding you to the list just in case you are still able to. If not no biggie.

@rcgrier3406 I’ll add you, myself and Kristin to the list and send that out in the morning.

Btw @timf said he was interested in doing something forest-like around his volcano, maybe he will have a spot for the spinosaurus.

@mrmain18 I think the display is not going to be strictly prehistoric, but modern so you could have a dinosaur in a museum

@rcgrier3406 has dinosaur skeletons which could also be part of a…Read more

The tentative plan is to do this next Sunday, April 26th at a lil after 10AM. That way we can get most of the AT-ATS and other stuff completed and wiring run in them before public hours start.

Bring an Easter egg or two if you would like and consider as we put…Read more

@willmcdine @rcgrier3406 we are planning either Sunday the 26th in the morning or Monday the 27th in the evening to…Read more

I have some work to do to MILS the doorway and give it better support. @timf if you want, I can do that with the other sections or we can do it whenever we meet up to set this up. Speaking of which…

It’s a bit tricky to find a solution that ‘rewrites’ pagination…that doesn’t get recursive or break it for oldest first…(I can’t link to you page 3, like the default does, and have it ‘regenerate’ the sorting for what SHOULD be page 3 for you view, because then links are different…Read more

Rotating Displays

which got me to thinking…do we want to have a ‘location’ view be default and then people can add cases under each location? What’s more useful? having all cases and…Read more

I want to thank @rcgrier3406 and @joshhall for working so hard on the layout to try to fit the bridge. Hopefully by giving a…Read more

I have snow covered tracks that could go around my area, but they’re only single RC track. Just an option.

Also, any preference on using the buildings with street or having the train(s) going around the park modules. (In case you wanted to mix things up this year.

I’ve gone ahead and signed up for full day shifts Sat and Sun. I may logically come in Friday afternoon to set up the bridge before the show but might not be able devote a full shift/cup for that day with work obligations so I left that blank…Read more

As long as we can have that 40″ gap (4 baseplates) via a couple custom made tables, I can make the bridge work within the tight footprint. If the bridge is on the narrow end, I can forgo the cargo flask platform on the Schanbel and it should be able to fit the R104 curve leading into the tower module.…Read more

The 2026 summer reading theme for the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is “Unearth a Story,” which focuses on dinosaurs, paleontology, and archaeology. The slogan, “Unearth a Story,” invites layered interpretations, encouraging readers to discover the joy of reading, uncover history, or explore the past.

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

@rcgrier3406 @playingwithechoes @gabevistica

Added @tbrown00 and @rcgrier3406 for display credits.

I will have my giant blue Schnabel car and a ton of new really long hazmat train cars ready for that R 104 loop, including that brand new KUA flask car which will its world debut running at TUBS in November. Plenty of overhang drama with these educational STEM models. @rcgrier3406 and @amplef0rth, crowds love…Read more

For cool down, simply turn off for a while to cool, like 30 minutes. Batteries should be about up to 90 minutes, though sometimes they go as far as 2hrs.

I have sheets prepared for the trains and the bridge. As a heads up, if you feel uncomfortable operating the bridge, you can crawl under it. Just watch out for the Spiderman minifigure hiding there. LOL
