Hi everyone,

As the Bricks in the Six is a few days later, and many of us are building
furiously for that fan event.

So to save stress and anguish, we can forego the dinner next Friday - July 14th
- and we can catch up on August 11th.

See you at dinner in August, and we'll see each other at Bricks In The Six!

So looking forward to the convention.

Stay safe,

Dave K

Lego museum. DISPLAY, Statue, and DONATIONS NEEDED

We are going to open a LEGO museum. We need TONS of blocks, displays, and any other lego “stuff” we can come up with. Presenters gain a place in HISTORY. We are selling space on a Plaque that will be put on the front of the building, as well as smaller plaques that will be put in front of individual display items. We are also purchasing LARGE amounts of special items for this project. Those people will not be included in the plaques, but will be put in a buying bio at the computer room (lego games a’ running). We will have a web sight in the NEAR future, and we already have purchased the building (old school house, 36,000 sq.) so we have all the room in the world to do this.

Anyone know anything about this? I’d like to hear more if so.

I stumbled upon this very cool museum a few weeks ago, while traveling for work. They hadn’t yet opened for the season, but luckily my job brought me back to the area a week later, and I was able to take a sprinting tour on my lunch break.

Tons of very cool displays spanning many decades, with an interesting evolution of building styles and parts along the way.

Also, I’m happy to report, the site has a friendly attitude toward competitor brick toys and actually has a number of official Mega sets on display.

I’ll definitely had back for a longer tour when I get the chance, but I was delighted to find this place totally by accident!

   Lego 4x2 truck 16-speed model

Hi, let me introduce my lego 4x2 truck with 16-speed transmission. It’s inspired by DAF XF 95 truck and its ZF Ecosplit transmission. Design is lego technic style with some details but it’s not the look, it’s the transmission: 16-speed heavy duty transmission with very realistic ratio set, use and 2x4x2 design containing range-change unit, main gearbox and splitter. Available real lego truck, full LDraw model with building instructions, transmission LDraw model, descriptions, ratio comparison to real ZF transmission and many more...

Very cool! I don’t have much luck with complex gearing, so I’m always impressed to see it executed well, as you’ve done here.

Dave!
