I think the LUG stanchions are still at Josh’s house, we used the museum’s stanchions for Fall Trolley.
I don’t think we can make the bridge work with normal tables unless we want to try using a lot of Technic pins to hold it all together. You just end up with too many big gaps trying to make 30-inch tables work with a 40-inch span (not to mention those gaps would increase our footprint).
We unloaded from TUBS this morning. Everything is more or less right where it was after Fall Trolley, except that the tables are in front and the MILS crates are behind so you can set up without unpacking the whole room first.
* We’ve always left a 5″ space open between the MILS bases and the edge of the tables. To make the bridge fit, I’m right to the edge of the tables on the top and bottom sides in this layout.
Assuming the tables are exactly 30″ deep and there’s no gaps between them, this will actually have a roughly 2-stud overhang on each end, since 32×32 plates are oh-so-slightly larger than 10″x10″.
Dunno why but I can’t see the cup I earned from Norwin Library in my history. I’m pretty sure the actual cup is in my total because there’s a warning on the page that my earned totals don’t match the stored numbers, but Norwin just isn’t in the event list.

You should sub to the other thread that Ben linked. All the info is on that other thread.
Welcome! If you think Allen and Alan will be confusing, just wait until you meet Tim from Cranberry and Tim from Cranberry!
Our Q3 quarterly meeting is coming up in a few weeks, and since the LUG was founded in Q3 (many years ago) it’s our big birthday celebration meeting, so be sure to RSVP! There’s a forum thread kicking around for it someplace, the title definitely includes “Q3” and probably also includes “2025”.
ALLEGEDLY moving. The bill was vague enough that Starliner Calypso could be sent to Houston instead, and it’s not clear if Discovery could feasibly be moved for three times the amount provided.
Sadly we have a standing commitment on Wednesday evenings (I should have mentioned it before, sorry), but it sounds like there’s a decent group!
I’m interested in showing up sometime on Saturday. Besides wood things, I’ve never actually been to your house or seen the LUG’s stocks there (and I also want another look at all the train stuff for Ultimate Brick Show).
It’s not that someone might have been bothered by the joke, it’s that they were, and enough to say something to me about it, hence the apology.
Having thought about it a bit more, I also think that actually doing a “bottom two” would somewhat go against the LUG’s general philosophy of “no comparison” (awarding the best is one thing, singling out the “worst” is another), and I think we (clearly especially me) should take that seriously enough to at least be careful joking about it.
Hi all,
I’ve already said something like this privately to Marcella and Krista, but I want to apologize publicly for the (public) comment I made about the “bottom two” during the build challenge this afternoon.
I wasn’t trying to tease in any mean-spirited way, I was trying to refer to the general format of Lego Masters, but in hindsight it was obviously the wrong way (and group) for making that particular joke and I’m sorry. It’s awesome that they both got to do the show and I don’t want to undercut the highs or focus on the lows of any of that.
Thank you to the person who gently reached out to me to say it had bothered them and a few others. You will remain anonymous but you truly embody the spirit of “Play Well”.
