(...) I have about 30 of the 4 wide x 3 high opening windows in various colours. About half include the shutters. 23 of the 5 high x 4 wide x 2 thick doors (all have red frames - some yellow door, some white). About 20 of the yellow or red sloped (...)

(...) Absolutely. I RX'd by snail-mail the application form for Supertrain 2001 in Calgary. There's a couple of things I should mention right away, as it will affect the thread greatly I suspect. 1. There are three categories of attendee - Our (...) (24 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

OK, like Michel suggested, it's probably a good idea to slow down the tossing around of new ideas, and make some decisions. Before we start deciding on specific layout considerations, we should get some ground level stuff out of the way. When's our (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) When I take apart my castle (near future, I'm afraid), I'll do my best to salvage the lighting set-up. At the moment, it's buried near ground level in a ~2 x ~4 x ~2 foot module - not exactly portable :) James (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) 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.

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)
