For those of you who can’t make it for set-up on Friday, the event hours are 10 am – 4 pm Saturday and Sunday, January 13th and 14th. Last year we were able to get in at 9 am on each day, and I would assume the same for this year. The museum doesn’t open until 10 am, so you have to enter through Security if you arrive before that. The Security…[Read more]

Time to bump this thread! Load-in and set-up are just 1 week away, Friday, January 12th!
Load-in time for us is 1 PM on Friday. We’re the last ones on the list, so if you can’t get there until a little later in the afternoon, it shouldn’t be a problem. Here are the directions to the loading dock:
Here are instructions from our special events…[Read more]

@carlsonf that looks great!! One suggestion I would have for when you display it would be to bring one or two of the LDD cut-away views for the Reactor Building and annotate what some of the components are. That would help non-nuclear people (like me!) understand what they’re looking at!!

Great idea. I have printed out a two-page AP1000 Fact Sheet from the Westinghouse web page. Also I’m going to contact Westinghouse Communications to see if they would like to provide anything else. I also want to find a good image of the specific plant my model is based on, the Sanmen plant in China. It was the first AP1000 to become operational.

@joshhall, if the clearances are too tight for stuff Glenn or Michael are running on the R104 and R120 tracks, we can always try to incorporate it on the R40 double track loop where John has his winter village.
@greg, if you find it and it still works you should definitely bring it. We can find a good spot for it on one of the R40 single track loops.

Thanks @willmcdine. We have what we need for all of the track (and roads) between the LUG’s inventory and Phil’s stuff. The overall layout is pretty much set based on the space and tables that the Science Center is providing, but there’s still a lot of openings for MOC’s.
Take a look at the “Displaying” tab at the bottom of the sign-up…[Read more]

Thanks @knb112, that looks great! I’m glad you were able to integrate the grid layout into the sign-up process.
If you’re only bringing trains, just add your name to the right side of the “Displaying” spreadsheet and summarize what you’re bringing (i.e. 9v engine + 3 cars) in the “Is it MILS’d or shimmed” column. You can add what the engine is…[Read more]

Bob Grier replied to the topic what the heck is Greg doing? in the forum All Things LEGO! 4 months, 3 weeks ago
I got to see this yesterday in person, and these pics don’t do justice to the “stained glass” windows Greg has in this thing, especially the round one in the back!!

@pnbrenem, thanks as always for offering your MILS’d track bases and ballasted track to supplement the LUG’s stock.
Tim is confirming with the Science Center this week that we want the same space and number of tables that we had last year. Assuming that gets confirmed and we go with this layout:
* I did a quick count, and with the stuff we…[Read more]

I was able to work on the layout over the past couple of days (in block form using Google Sheets). This is essentially the as-built layout that we ended up with last year and is based on us getting the same space and number of tables (@timf is in the process of confirming that with the Science Center this week). We’re also asking for the 2 extra…[Read more]

I’m bringing a couple of small winter/holiday themed “fill-in” items if we need them.

@timf, I don’t think anyone has done any layout work yet to figure out how much space we’ll need. I can help get that organized, but I really haven’t used Bluebrick much at all and could use help with that. Josh Updike (Mac) did that last year, but don’t know that he’s still active in the LUG these days. @jupdyke, if you get this and still have…[Read more]
