    MOC display space —Adrian Drake
   I'm trying to figure out how many of my MOC's I should bring along (when you consider my sculptures, I can take up a LOT of space!) I could easily fill up a 6 foot long table with my works, but I'm not sure if I should. How much would be (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
   
        Re: MOC display space —Christina Hitchcock
   (...) Only 42 of the 115 people registered have indicated that they need space to display. This event is about sharing our creations and ideas with others, getting input, and seeing new things.

        Re: MOC display space —James Trobaugh
     I know this might be a lot to ask, but it never hurts to ask, can you somehow update the "list of attendies" to show who has requested MOC space? I forgot if I requested some space or not. Also if we're bringing train MOCs will there be room for (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
    
         Re: MOC display space —Jake McKee
      (...) Good question about the train layout. I was planning on bringing a few cars, hopefully to run on the layout. Is this kosher? Jake --- Jake McKee AFOL LUGNET Member #211 (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
     
          Re: MOC display space —Stephen F. Roberts
      (...) ...While I cant speak for sure, but yes to both questions. The idea is to have enough train table space that buildings and train related things can be displayed. And we should have enough track that everyone's cars can be both displayed and (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

         Re: MOC display space —Stephen F. Roberts
     (...) ...So lets get a coordinator for trains :-) Or at least warn people to bring lots of track. If everyone brings a few straits, a point or two, and 4 curves, I'm sure there would be plenty :-) Guess we should have some masking tape on hand for (...)

         Re: MOC display space —Jake McKee
     (...) I am cross posting this to .trains to see if anyone who is coming to Brickfest may also have some experience setting up a train layout. Any takers? Jake --- Jake McKee AFOL LUGNET Member #211 (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.trains)

         Re: MOC display space —Christopher Tracey
     (...) I'll be at brickfest and have some experiance setting up large layouts. I plan on bringing an 256 stud long town section with a train running through it and some 8wide rolling stock/engines along with track. Are the wamalug train tables going (...)

         Re: MOC display space —Christina Hitchcock
     (...) The WAMALUG tables are supposed to be there. We have 25 tables and each table holds 16 32x32 baseplates. I anticipate some spillage onto the other tables and possibly onto the floor. I know and have heard of at least two airports, two (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.trains)

         Re: MOC display space —Robin Werner
      (...) The first thing I would like to ask is how many of the 25 tables will be use by WAMALUG/WAMALTC members? How about one 4x4 table per out of town LUG/LTC? I am also guessing that the tables are square 4x4 baseplates or 40x40 inch? Then we all (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.trains)
     
          Re: MOC display space —Stephen F. Roberts
       (...) ...No one group is going to have a claim on the tables, they are there for everyone. They are our tables (WAMALTCs), but we're bringing them for everyone.

       (...) At this time, room assignments are not final. We have a general idea of what we want where, but not everyone has had the opportunity to look at the rooms.

      lets see: approx 60 x 65 feet approx 720 x 780 inches 72 x 78 base plates that's 5616 base plates if we don't mind floating around the room and i still like the idea of sending the train around the whole floor at least one track line.
