i would be interested in going to the train event in August...i would be able to supply some rolling stock and maybe a building or two(if there is room). I agree with the Mr. Poindexter that we display MOC's instead of Lego trains since some of the (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

With several pounds of ABS on the tabletop, I find myself wondering: Has anyone burned a brick lately? How fast does it burn? How hard is it to put out? Can a cigarette ignite a baseplate? -gyug (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Hi all, I don't remember his name (shame on me!), but a guy at the last meet had some nice cut-away multi-story buildings. His table was in the back, and he also wanted red windows. The buildings were only about 8-10 deep I would guess, and had big (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Hi Mike, I think your approach to buy and install a 1-2 ft Plexiglas wall, like a sneeze guard, is the best. Then you can run the layout all the way to the edge. I can help with this if needed. There is a decent TAP plastics in Fremont. How would (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Although I am almost done with the track plan, I need to get with Tom Stangl and Zonker on one development we had - any crowd barriers have to be part of our layout, which means that having 2' roped off cuts our layout to 6'x11', which is pretty (...)

Hi, How many badges do you think you can you get? I know Ross and I would like badges to go, and could help set-up, operate etc. Can we pool/share them? Do you know the layout exhibit hours? What's the verdict on how many/types non-module (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Dear Mr. Lehman If it's no trouble, could you set up a LUGOLA (LEGO User Group of Los Angeles) newsgroup, i.e. lugnet.org.us.lugola? We just had our first meeting and it would be really helpful, and ego boosting, if we had our own section on Lugnet. (...) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ca.la)

Scott, There were only three of us...this time. We still had a great time exchanging ideas, trading, and showing off our creations. Perhaps we can talk Herny into posting the 'in-progress' pictures of his newest creation. Let's just say that he (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.la)
