Topic: THE BIG PICTURE!
I think before we collectively launch into investing FOUR THOUSAND dollars more into LEGO parts, we should step back and figure out what we ultimately want to accomplish.
When I was building on my own, I had my own reasons for making things ie. so my kids could play a city display, so I could take something to Brickfair, or so I could try out some idea.
Do we a vision or a design for what we want to accomplish? (Please taze me if this is has already been spelled out somewhere.) Obviously we are trying to become more efficient and effective at putting on large temporary train displays. We can continue to let that happen piecemeal with individuals making random MOC’s, but is it possible that we could develop an overall plan? Should we incorporate certain themes or set particular goals to make displays more interesting?
Also, a big part of me wants a place to be able to set everything up somewhere and leave it. This is partly because I am running out of space to store MOC’s … like the Pittsburgh bridge and the yellow castle and the alpine village … and no one is really seeing them in a box in my garage. I know that having our own display space seems far fetched, but does anyone suppose that Dan Brown could be persuaded to move some of his museum displays to the city that had Kidsfest two years in a row? He would have so much more exposure here. Could we get a room at the Children’s museum to set up a long term display? Should we approach the Western PA train museum? Is there room for long-term residence at the Trolley museum?
Sorry, I know yinz want to talk about the LUGbulk parts list, but it might really help people to decide what people should buy if we gave some consideration to long term goals.
