This is just a reminder that we are scheduled to display our layout at the next Greenbergs show on 3/31-4/1 with setup on 3/30. We will be adding 2 tables to the layout for this show which should give us a layout looking something like this. (URL) (...) (23 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) Where is this show held? My recollection is somewhere on the North Shore of Mass...is that correct? I have family on the South Shore & was interested in coming up and checking out the next show. I have to see your Main Street in person.... (...) (23 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) next (...) Yup, Willmington is just North of Boston on Rt 93 Just North of the 128/93 interchange (128 is also US Rt 95 but us Locals still call it 128). (...) That would be great. The Street scene will be there. Eric Kingsley (23 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) I take it we're going to be at the Shriner's Auditorium again? Hopefully, I can make it for more than one day this time. And maybe I'll even contribute something! :D eric (23 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) I have been working on making a few more RCX-automated railroad crossings. If you can believe it, I don't have enough of a few critical parts to make too many more! I have most of the important stuff, but I might have to borrow a few choice (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

Well, i have a crossing already built, it just needs to be motorized. I will bring it to the next meeting (whenever that may be, hopefully before the show), and let you take a look at it to see what I need to do to make it compatable with the (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) Chris, I've gone through my peices, and have enough peices to make two full crossings, the only problem is that I only have one micro-motor. Does any one have any extras that they want to sell, or just let me borrow for the show? Or does any (...) (23 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) Suz, That would be great! I am in need of three motors. I believe we will be having a NELUG meeting before the show, if you could bring them there it would be great. Otherwise, let me know and I will get them somehow. According to the layout (...) (23 years ago, 24-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) If you mean the 1x4 double flashing type, I have at least one black one here. I don't recall what set had them, but I have a feeling they're not around any more. I'm starting to think here.. Maybe there are other things I can lend out. I'd (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) Well I am not going to be much help with the Crossings. I have no micro motors and no flashing lights. I have some parts to make the arms but those are probably the easiest parts to get at the moment. I do have one of the Gray ramp pieces if (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) Yes, the 1x4, dual-bulb, flash-when-you-rever...e-polarity lights. Preferably in black, because this looks best in the model. I got the four that I own by purchasing UFO sets (forget the set number offhand... 6000-series IIRC) at a KB Toy (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) If you can't get enough cylinders, I have a pair of the old lift gates from SET 4539. They are a single piece with a weight at the end, and work rather well with the micro motors. Tom D (23 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

Well, for that price, I guess my crossings can do without the flashing lights! On a related note, Chris Leach has graciously offered to loan us about 15 straight peices of monorail track for the layout. I sent him out a check for shipping the other (...)
