So setup will be on November 22nd and 23rd with the event running through Thurs, Fri, Saturday and Sunday through the 21st of December.
I told Johnathan he could take point on this as I have a lot on my plate at the moment. I am happy to contribute and help as much as I can. I’m willing to set up the Christmas tree farm as usual.
@greg I think everything is still at the museum. I’m not sure what Josh’s plan is yet for picking up the LUG stuff.
anything remaining good to be picked up at some to be determined point in time?
We have space to store stuff if you can’t pick up til after Christmas.
I’ll plan on coming down on Sunday for teardown and take what we need for Locomotion Weekend. All of it will be MILS stuff (track, roads, and some but not all of the blanks).
Sounds good Bob, we are gonna be tearing down probably starting between 5:15 and 5:30 depending on how many visitors are still milling about. @rcgrier3406 just be sure you come to the right location, I don’t remember if you’ve been to the new building.
Eeeek sorry :0 I have been crushed trying to get museum stuff done and neglected to set up a sign up for this, I will do that now but set up will probably start around 10 on Saturday.
Here’s the latest variation, I am waiting for confirmation of the availability of the bridge to determine final routing for the trains.
@joshhall do we know if the bridge will be ready for Santa Trolley or should I plan the display to not have it?
Hoth is definitely longer than wide (6 baseplates wide but 13 long, which we can pare down a lil to more like 11 if need be).
Okay, I can make that adjustment, I wasn’t sure what size it was these days, we have plenty of room to work with. I will make sure there’s room to get the trains by.
I have quite a few Winter Village sets and some customized ones- i will also be available to come down and set-up as well. Can also bring modulars if needed.
Sounds great! I also have a selection of winter village sets so we can set them up either as one group or several separated areas. (give the train something to do). As for modulars I have quite a few that are at the museum from Halloween but you’re welcome to bring more. If you want a list of things that aren’t there I can send it to you. Thanks for being able to participate!
I will bring something winter-about 4 base plates.
Sounds good Kerri, I will allocate space for you! Thanks for participating once again!
Would there be a space to display a 3D Christmas themed LUG logo? It has a rotating platform that can plug into a 9V power source. There is also a light inside, (although the current light is battery-powered and is not that ideal.)
That’s awesome @greg I’m sure we can make room for it! Thanks for offering, anything you’re willing to display is welcome.
@timf, this is just a rough draft for now, let me know what you guys think, we can move the Hoth display to the east side and move the winter stuff to the south end if we need more room.
@knb112 Will do, I have to get the final numbers from the museum still.
Now that Pumpkin is over I wanted to turn my attention to getting a plan out for winter and finalizing the details for the Hoth set-up. If you are planning to contribute please post here with what you are bringing and how much room it will occupy, thanks!
I can bring stuff down Saturday. How many tables do we need?
We’re going to need 15 or so, if you want to bring all of them so they’re here for Santa that works as well. I have the two that I made, I am going to trim them down to match the LUG’s.
I tried to sign up for Sunday Set-up and Tear down but when i click the button to sign up nothing happens? I’ll plan to arrive around 11am on Sunday and i can bring 2 haunted houses, the hocus pocus house and some other sets if needed to fill in the area.
The website problem sounds like @joshhall needs to look at it. I plan to be there around 10, but I may be in and out depending on if people are there to set up.
Please, if you arrive and cannot find me, call or text me at 814-414-7298.
Thanks! @joshhall
I tried to put the event sign ups on the site but they are a little bugged. I think Josh is going to take a look at them to try and correct them. I think the dates are right, but don’t trust time times just yet.
With set up being this Saturday and Sunday the 12th & 13th I wanted to send out the basic layout for the display so we can start working toward getting things planned. If everyone could please just express their interest in participating and let me know what they plan to bring and how much room it will consume I will try to get the drawing updated throughout the week so we’re ready for Saturday.
As for set up times, you can show up anytime between 10am and 4pm on Saturday or Sunday for setup. I will be there all day, we will need the LUG tables if someone is able to bring them down that would be awesome!!
Hai hai, thanks to Johnathan for posting this. I figured I should follow up with the dates for the display.
Santa Trolley will take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday November 29 & 30 and December 1, 6-8, 13-15 and 20-22. Set up would take place the weekend & week leading up to Thanksgiving. and teardown will be in the evening on the 22nd. I anticipate being able to leave supplies at the new building between the Fall & Winter events.
Plan away! I will be updating this as soon as fall trolley wraps up.
Yes, sorry. I did talk to Kristen and we can set up the weekend prior to the start of Pumpkin, so that puts our set up dates at October 12 and/or 13. I think the display is probably going to be slightly smaller than santa but if we have enough interest/participation we can certainly make it the same.
@josh, will do.
@tfdesigns, I will have to look into whether we can set up on Sat/Sun before, let me get back to you.June 8th won’t work out for me as we have an event at the museum that weekend.
Can anyone else think of anyone needing a badge?
Beau needs a badge and has never been added to the PAB count. I have turned in cups earned for him in the past.
Thank you to everyone for your participation, over the 4 weekends of the display nearly 9800 people got to enjoy it! Here are the final participation numbers for this event! Please let me know if this is incorrect.
Pete Display + 14 shifts = 8 cups
Laura Display + 10 shifts = 6 cups
John S. Display + 10 shifts = 6 cups
Jonathan Display + 4 shifts = 3 cups
Kerri Display + 4 shifts = 3 cups
Kristin 4 shifts = 2 cups
Josh Display + 2 shifts = 2 cups
Tim Display + 2 shifts = 2 cups
Pam Display + 2 shifts = 2 cups
Beau 3 shifts = 1.5 cups
Adam K. 3 shifts = 1.5 cups
Sarah K. 1 shift = .5 cup
Mike(not sure which Mike this is?) 1 shift = .5 cupsYes the tables and any other LUG supplies can stay at the Trolley Museum until someone comes to pick them up to take to CSC. We have a lot more storage at the new facility so we can store stuff for most events now. I strongly encourage anyone who has not subscribed to the Winter Trolley thread to check it out and sign up for a shift to not only check out the awesome display but also see the new building and get an idea of what we could do with an event there.
I bought stuff off eBay before and sold things. It’s usually pretty safe. Honestly, it’s probably more risky for a seller to get scammed. To your question Pamela I think he wanted to try and find a used one local if possible. If not I did see one on Bricklink for $40 new so I’m probably just going to point him at that.
@argonvesher do you have the big bin of LUG white brick? We have a lot of green space on the layout that needs covered and Josh thought you still had it. Thanks!
