This sounds really cool, I love bridges. But is this an NALUG show or an CPLTC
show? Thanks for any clarification on that you might be able to give...

This weekend, Sept 18 & 19th The Great Edmonton Train Show is being held in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
If you are in the neighborhood drop by and check out NALUG's display this year.
The show is being held at the Mayfield Inn Trade Center, 16615-109 Avenue
(aka Mayfield Road), and runs from 10am to 5pm both days. Admission for
adults is $6, under 18 and seniors $3, and family
(2 adults, 4 children) $12.

This will be NALUG's 5th year displaying at the show and it is our biggest yet.
The display is 40' by 25' and the theme for this year is bridges. One for
each side of the display.
The longest is a minifig scale model of the High Level bridge in Edmonton.
The bridge is a double deck Truss Bridge and the model is 25'+ in length.
Also on the layout is a 15'+ suspension bridge, also with a vehicle deck and it
sits in place over an ocean of blue LEGO that is 20,000+ and a operating
lighthouse.
The third bridge, or bridges, is a pair of trestle bridges with a dam in the
background with sculpted valley and waterfall.
The final bridge is a working bascule bridge with automated lift and train power
control via an RCX.
In between the bridges there will be a grain loading terminal, rotary dumper,
train station, high rises, numerous town buildings and an industrial park.
Come check it out.

Hello Fellow brick fetishists!
There is a very good chance that the Vancouver Lego Club will be exhibiting its
talents at Science World ( http://scienceworld.ca ) in the spring of 2005. We
are very keen on involving some of the surrounding area groups, if they would
like to make the visits up to Vancouver. The exhibit will be approximately 13
weekends, so there is a tremendous amount of flexibility. However, some of the
thoughts that we have had are as follows:
- Other club's display of MOCs,
- Vancouver versus Seattle ISD build competition (CANAM)-- who can build the
Star Destroyer the fastest? Maybe even break the world record?
It would also be a great opportunity to just get together and hangout. If you
have any ideas, or if you are interested participating in the above, please
email me directly. Thanks very much.
Again, please email me directly.

We finally have organized the pictures people
took of NALUG's train layout at the
Great Edmonton Model Train Show in late 2003.
<http://www.nalug.org/TrainShow2003/>
Highlights include:
* new DCC system
* transfer table
* working Bascule bridge
* rotary hopper dumper
Kudos to Kevin Maynes for organizing a great layout.
Enjoy!
