I’m just bumping this to see if anyone local to Cranberry is interested/available. @tbrown00 @tcsbgdady @greg @rcgrier3406 I’m probably missing a few more (sorry). I need reply to her early next week.

@greg, I did want to have it done for the Home Show but it’s not worth the aggravation and rush to try and solve it before Tuesday. I think that it is not minifig scale – I think minifigs are proportionally too tall. The tower would be about 19 inches high but a real cooling tower is around 660 feet.
@rcgrier3406, thank you for your good ideas…[Read more]

@rcgrier3406 I will be there tomorrow at 1 with my crew and plenty of things for the display. I updated the sheet too. Not sure how I missed that.

@playingwithechoes, we’ve asked for the same set-up as last year, which means we should have those two back tables again for static trains. We’ll know for sure when I get there on Friday for set-up.
I will have some extra straight track for those back tables. I’ll try and let you know how much we have after we get everything set up in case you…[Read more]

As a heads up, I will dropping off my trains Saturday morning long before the show starts. I’ll arrive quite early with my brother. Train set up for me will only take a few minutes and I’ll use the rest of the time to help with anything that needs worked on before the show starts.
For people using the Power Function controllers, watch your…[Read more]

@rcgrier3406 @willmcdine Yes, you should use the Loading dock entrance with your wagon. It is super easy to use and the freight elevator takes you right up to the display room.

Oh that’s cool, it has alligator clips, no need for soldering!
Hey @rcgrier3406, the battery-powered train loop takes up about 25″ x 35″, so that space in the middle of the Locomotion 2024 spreadsheet, where the words currently are, seems to have enough space. (Unless that is going to be an open area for presenters.)
Also that location appears…[Read more]

@joshhall, and @rcgrier3406, I’ve attached a render showing the widest point of the Schnabel car, along with red/white bricks to visualize the exact size. Good news is that it’s a typical 8w base up to the platform with the control arms. So low boxes near the track won’t be a problem.
Then it’s 12w at the upper shoulders. The cargo platform…[Read more]

@joshhall, the crossing gates look great! I had to zoom in on the photo to see the strings
does the LUG have rechargeable C batteries? they could come in handy for a battery-powered L-gage train that I want to run at the CSC show
@rcgrier3406, this reminds me that I have a mindstorms sensor controlled crossing gate … I need to double check…[Read more]

Would we (@rcgrier3406) want to make something like this for winter trolley next year?
Would the display space available be able to accommodate something like this, @laura?

I definitely support this effort. Not just for the LUG recognition, but I’m sure Mark from Home and Garden would love to say he has award winning displays at his event. I would think that goes for any venue or event we’re a part of.
As Krista said, check out the gallery https://www.steelcitylug.com/gallery/2/?envira_id=31964

Heads up, @joshhall, @rcgrier3406, @knb112, @amplef0rth, and @watchwmarcella.
The 2023 Brick Train Awards are live and the Lug’s spectacular city display at the Pittsburgh Home and Garden Show would certainly qualify for “Best Overall Group Display.” Do you have any photos that you’d want to submit for it on their website or would you like to me…[Read more]

@loganc Thank you for the compliment. Sorry you couldn’t attend. It was definitely fun.

@knb112 75 sounds about right. I didn’t know or know or didn’t remember if @willmcdine told to find out attendance. At the next event, I’ll be sure ask.
