Josh shared the almost completed v2 on fb. E managed to get a Power functions motor running off the 9v train track that’s it’s installed on.
Definitely a fun project to get done, especially just using the parts available in the random bin.
Completed by @joshhall, @rcgrier3406 and myself. And thanks to @carlsonf for starting to sort that gia…[Read more]

John S started the topic Double railroad crossing gates in the forum MOCs 1 year, 1 month ago
Figured I’d start a thread about the crossing project done at the home and garden show. Started as single crossing and changed to double this morning.
I got it working. Now it’s up to @rcgrier3406 to make it look good again haha.
Motor and working can be hidden in a building or control box on the next baseplate.

Did the I spy thread get started? I can’t find it. I was thinking about what I’d need to bring from the lug inventory to supply the list.

@joshhall I am happy to lead the I Spy kit. I will create a new forum thread regarding it and get the ball rolling.
@rcgrier3406 I will work on updating the bluebrick layout as soon as my kids give me a break. This weekend at the latests. Just depends if I can get them to sit and calmly watch a movie or not before the weekend.

@rcgrier3406 I am happy to update the layout to match what we ended up with and document it.
I think a lessons learned activity would be great. Do you think we should continue that in this forum thread or would it make sense to try and organize a meetup somewhere? I think lessons learned is a great topic, but I think we should not let the name…[Read more]

As being part of a LUG event for the first time, I want to thank everyone for their hard work and great success in making the CSC a wonderful display. Special thanks to @joshhall, @timf, @rcgrier3406, @knb112 @mitchsbricks, @emperorofthenorthpole, and everyone else in building all those beautiful MILS track modules painstakingly by hand and…[Read more]

@timf, @rcgrier3406, @emperorofthenorthpole,
I found a pack of small rubber bands that fit the driving wheels. I’ll bring the entire bag tomorrow at 1pm in case anyone else is having wheel slippage on the track. Plenty of spares. Seeing my driving wheels polish themselves smooth was a new one for me LOL as that never happened before on my track…[Read more]

There’s a chance I may pop down on Sunday to staff, photograph and generally hang out to learn more about trains. A big thanks to @timf, @rcgrier3406, and all of you train folks for taking this one and running with it. It sounds like it’s going to be an awesome display!

As stated in the “MILS Build Day – Saturday Jan 7” thread, we got a lot done this weekend. It looks like @rcgrier3406 and I are the only ones currently planning to do set up on Friday (of course, anyone else is very welcome to join us).
On Friday, our set up plan will be to get all of the MILS plates and track laid down, electricity supply set…[Read more]

Thank you @rcgrier3406. We also need the “Do Not Touch” signs. Not sure if Krista has those or they are back at Josh’s.
I will go ahead and put in for 1:00 pm set up on Friday January 13.

@rcgrier3406, @timf, I’m fine without all that based on what I’ve seen at the crowd handling itself well at the CSC, but this is my first time trying to participate with the LUG on trains and you guys have more experience with people at many shows in general. (You’re worried mostly about people touching/sneezing on the models more so than stealing…[Read more]

Awesome! It sounds like Tuesday evening, say 6:30, seems to be good. I’ll let Susan know we’re coming.
@rcgrier3406 I think having the platforms is a great idea.

@rcgrier3406 I have to say that model is impressive. Getting it to all fit in 2 baseplates and look that good. Honestly, ever since I saw it my mind has been playing around with building a similar one, but having a tunnel connected to it for the train to go through.
I will add 2 baseplates for the incline to the BlueBrick tonight for a rev2…[Read more]

Thanks @cybladez101. Unfortunately, I don’t have instructions. Except for the Potions Book, these were MOC’s I made several years ago before the Hogwarts Icons set came out. I based them on photos I found online, and then a lot of trial and error!
If you’re at set-up for Northland, I can pull a couple of them apart for you to take more…[Read more]

@rcgrier3406 this looks awesome! My daughter asked for the Hogwarts Icons set for Christmas however, we are getting her some other sets instead. Do you have instructions for any of these items? I would like to make something similar for her.
