I'm a little nervous about tying the contest to a particular theme, because not everybody is interested in trains. I suspect you'd have a similar reaction to a contest for building a spacecraft.... But let's go with this idea and see what the (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

|

I propose that the building contest for the next BayLUG meeting be a train car design contest. It should be a free-for-all with no design limitations. We can run all the cars around some track to see what they do, if anything, and then we can vote (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

Like everyone else here, I *really* wanna go to BricksWest. But after spending two months out of work last fall (and then taking a 10% pay cut), and just getting through the Xmas season, money is very tight. I just can't go to BricksWest unless I (...)

Hi, Having expanded THE MOUNTAIN from 2 to 3 baseplates, we used about 50 BURPS so far and it is almost (~80%) done. Of course, we are out of burps now as well. So...if you all could spare just one (plastic) BURP each, we would sure appreciate it. (...) (23 years ago, 7-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

If I'm to attend BricksWest I will need to cut the costs. Would anyone from the Bay Area who's driving down like to carpool with me? I'll pay my share of the gas money and drive as much of the trip as you want. Also, once we're down there, I'm (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Thanks, we like it too. Its about 16 studs in diameter. Stole the roof idea from the pic of another one I found online, but don't remember where.
