Call for a Group Train/Town Layout at BrickFest™ 2006
It is time to start planning for one of the next great Train/Town display at
BrickFest™. This will be a great way to show your 9v electric train pride and
help save our way of model railroading.
This year Scott Lyttle and I (Robin
Werner) are your Train/Town co-coordinators and we would like to extend an
invitation to all attending individuals and LEGO® Train Clubs (LTCs) to display
at BrickFest™ 2006 and the two day public expo BrickParty 2006.
For those of
you who have been to BrickFest™ before know the two day public expo is a slight
change, but for most of us weathered Train/Town heads it’s not a big problem,
it’s a plus, we get more time to show are best to the world! But for those of
you not so enthusiastic about this, we plan to have extra security onsite, work
in shifts so we don’t get burned out and we will have rooms to just get away.
Set Up: The display area is accessible for set up starting on Thursday in the
late afternoon and will continue Friday morning. We will need to get the display
table’s setup Thursday night, but the layout does not need to be nailed down
until Friday afternoon for contest voting.
Tear Down: The public event is
scheduled to end at 3:30pm on Sunday. It would be great if all could stay in
place until 4:00 Sunday. But we know that this may not be feasible for everyone
due to travel.
If you or your club is interested in participating in what we
hope to be one of the largest multi group layouts done at a fan oriented event,
please contact Scott Lyttle
and/or Robin Werner.
Please
include the following information:
Contact Name:
Contact email
address:
Name of Club (if applicable):
Desired dimensions of space (in inches, multiples of 10 preferred)
If possible include a TrackDraw or Track Designer file with your proposed
layout. Include interconnects with other sections. We’re hoping to have 4 tracks
running at one time this year. If your Track Draw or Track Designer plan
includes any custom pieces please include the files for those as well.
Indicate if you will be bringing your own tables or if you need organizers to
supply them. (Table’s and space will be issued first come first serve)
We
will maintain an updated space plan and track plan (if possible) so we can all
see the layout taking shape. Depending on level of interest, we may have to
restrict space available to each club. Preference will be given to displays that
are anticipated to be “more than just trains” but that have a pleasing (and
hopefully spectacular!) mix of scenery, cityscapes, and operating trains.
Of
course, however unlikely, all particulars are subject to change, so please
remain flexible. More information to come...
