(...) I just got confirmation. TLG is sending me all the various LEGO that I requested for the kid's play area. If the Calgary club kicks in the $50 for the hardware and provides the tables and supervision as expected, we should have an awesome play (...)

If the mountain doesn't take too much time, what's the possibility of something like this... (URL) you up to it James? :-) SRC (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) I believe it is a counter-top model, yes. (Should be OK for bits) SRC (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

I didn't understand that TLG was supplying the track for the play area. If it falls through, another possibility for the play area track, is to use my old grey 4.5/12V track. It takes longer to assemble, but I am not using it anymore, and won't mind (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

Will yoiu be able to bring the drill press to James place? Do you need a 3/8 inch drill bit? Michel (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

I forgot to mention that we could have almost used 14 for GETS 2000, remember we butted one end up against the other train display, so we didn't need a barrier on that side. I had drilled two holes in the pipes, one 6 inches below the other, I (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

It's after 22:00 at night and I haven't eaten anything since breakfast. (I got carried away with Track Designer...) Here are some shots of what my plan so far is. I've only shown the "left" half since it's over 60' wide - there is another long (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) I can make a detailed shopping list for James or go with him. Beyond the three play ovals, I see two main items for Jan 13th. One is the barricade buckets, the other is the mountain. There's three ways I see incorporating the mountain. One is (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) I'm estimating 16 at this point, but the more the better. (...) Good idea - rope isn't very expensive. My Uncle has a small drill press for making the holes. SRC StRuCtures (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
