As TLC has been doing increasingly, it secretly recruited 10 train AFOLs in
March to help design LEGO train factory. The group ultimately came up with a

Some overall notes:
The site is fabulous. Almost all the MOCs and the train layout fit in one very
nice room and has been open around the clock. Immediately adjacent is a room
with 400 chairs for the joint sessions. Joe surprised most of us by including
dinner after the Friday session. Most of the attendees I have spoken with who
are staying at the hotel (a great idea and a relative bargain) are housed within
a 100 or less steps of the main hall, which is very convenient. The hotel and
its staff seem very pleased to have us. The onsite LEGO store is practically a
"real store" with a very large stock on labelled shelves. The shirts are
terrific.
