A big Hi to All
Well the show is over for another year and I am going to take a little time
to mention about it and thank a few people.
The pictures are still being (uploaded / downloaded whichever) but will be
along soon.
The crowds and other exibitors were fantastic again this year and I think
there were more kids in front than last year. They even carry their own
(stool or chair) to look over the barrier rail this year (just goes to show
how clever the kids are these days. We will have to keep this in mind next
year for little fingers getting too close to the trains:)
The other regular exibitors treat us like part of the family now and come
over to see what new ideas we have added this year. Gary’s “Fair Ground”
being run by mindstorms was the attraction of the show I reckon by the
amount of people who stopped and looked at it. I even heard a comment 2 rows
away (while I was getting a cup of tea) from 2 male exibitors saying “you
got to go and have a look at the Show ground on the Lego table”.

Congratulations on another successful show!
The pics posted so far look great (and I found some more
here and
here by following links from
aus.rail.models).
The fairground looks good (fingers crossed someone got a video of it), and
the looong string of yellow and red hoppers looks particularly impressive.

Hi Richie and Peter et al,
this is my first post on Lugnet - hope it gets through ok and sorry for the
delay on this thread - took a while to setup my address and then get a chance to
get back to you. I have been lurking around these posts for the last few years
since getting back into Lego (trains) about 3 years ago.
I took some video of the display - it is about 2 minutes worth all up once I
edited it together, and given how crowded it was with all the people a little
limited in the angles I was able to get, but there are a few seconds of the
fairground amongst other things. In DVD resolution it is about 80 Mb and looks
pretty good on a decent TV, though I did manage to render a version down to
about 1.5 mb (small display but enough to get an idea of the final) which I am
happy to email directly to one of you if you want it. Else I work in the
Brisbane CBD and live in the “hills” in the north west so am happy to arrange a
copy on CD / DVD if someone wants to meet for lunch or somewhere near home -
send me an email direct to arrange.
Thanks again for the show - a great display and always inspiring for my own
little train set. I always think it is the highlight of the show, but then I am
biased. I wanted to try and join in at least with a contribution somewhere this
year but my wife and I had a baby girl the weekend earlier - just not good
timing for things lego. Same with the breath some life competition - maybe next
time, though I appreciate the effort that has gone into making it happen, even
if I didn’t get to put something in.
