(...) I think we have enough Lego for a building like that - the catch is we might not have enough for other buildings. I seem to recall that the one thing we're all short of is town stuff. (windows & doors, and minifigs, oh my.) Bricks we can do (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

No, but it's not a bad idea. :) I can, without having to stretch my collection at all (although my big castle will have to come apart - which is OK, it has to anyway) raise a 61" square by 20 bricks. I suspect (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

Thanks John, When I get to that stage, I might borrow those plates from you. I guess James has used regular lights, (but it would take a lot of them!), to do something similar. James could you bring it for a demonstration, the next time we meet. (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

James, The switching yard looks better. Unfortunately moving the mountain up, means a curve leads into it, requiring significant clearances. Not insurmountable. Lifting the city portion is a neat idea, but I couldn't help but notice that the WAMALTC (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) Look on the right hand side. The mountain has been moved up about a table, and a three spur ladder-style yard broken off the outside loop. (...) Why, out of curiosity? More of a pain to turn it into a jpg? James (24 years ago, 11-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

| | Nice K'Nex Display at Space & Science Centre

We took Chad (6yrs) to the Space & Science Centre for his birthday. After seeing the IMAX Dolphins movie (which was good) we hit the K-Nex exhibit. They had several two meter long dinosaurs, a shark (a good three meters long), a dolphin, and a 17' (...) (24 years ago, 11-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) Love it - Raise the whole town section. The outer loop (with switches straightened) could run underneath, and the incline could bring the inner loop up to it. The bridge would connect the town and mountain, and then slope back down the (...) (24 years ago, 11-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) My main problem here is that the main-line loops all have places where the train has to go through the curved part of a switch. The outer loop has three. That could restrict operation at high speed, and unattended. If you can fix things so (...) (24 years ago, 11-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
