The Southern California LEGO Train Club’s first ever run at the at 2005
Orange County Fair begins today. SCLTC is providing four separate attractions
consisting of two displays and two building events:
- A train layout
- A flag building record attempt event
- An ISD building record attempt event
- A static display
The train layout is the club’s largest any measure: footprint, table area,
track length, and bricks! It features many of SCLTC’s most popular
constructions, including the Art Deco Building, SCLTC Building, 384 stud long
cable-stayed bridge, arch bridge, causeway, auto show room, farm, two inter-rail
stations, automated light rail system, and many others. New attractions include
a mountain top observatory, electronic sign, ocean front including cargo port,
undersea view, and monorail, a skyscraper from our professional architect, cows
run amok in the flower fields, and many more creations. Operation is 100% DCC
with multiple automated reversing loops.
The flag building event begins at 10:00 on Friday July 15 and will attempt to
set a Guinness World Records sanctioned record for the largest free standing
United States flag built entirely of LEGO bricks. The flag will measure over 6
feet high and 12 feet long and contain approximately 200,000 bricks. Visitors
are invited to help with construction.
The ISD building event will attempt to set a new speed mark for constructing a
LEGO Imperial Star Destroyer starting from a sealed box and using a team of no
more than 10 builders. Construction is scheduled for Saturday July 23.
The static display supports the 2005 fair theme, It’s Calling You Out to
Play, and includes the Carousel from the 1998 Ultimate LEGO Creation Contest
and the SCLTC display cart.
The Orange County Fair runs from July 8 through July 31 (closed Mondays) and is
open 12:00 noon to 23:00 Tuesday through Thursday and 10:00 through 00:00
midnight Friday through Sunday.
