NALUG has offered to donate a LEGO set into the raffle at the Great Edmonton Train Show here in Edmonton on the 22nd of September, and a "My Train" set would be perfect. Unfortunately they're all backordered from LEGO; even the ones that say (...) (23 years ago, 6-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) I will take care of it as soon as I can. Unfortunately with the changes in LUGNET administration the Map hasn't been updated from its development site for a little while. (URL) will make a post when I get this done. Eric Kingsley (23 years ago, 6-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.org)

For the train clubs that use folding legs, I was wondering if you could answer the following: 1. If you don't have enough Lego bricks to cover the entire surface of the talbles, how do you hold the adjacent tables together? 2. Do you have a problem (...)

I agree that the folding legs are the way to go if you want to save space in transporting them and setting up. I used the "conventional" bolt on legs for a year and that was all I could take. I was tired of being the last group to leave the train (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains.org)

The GMLTC used 30"x45" tables for our last layout (actually just a skosh longer on each dimension to avoid module buckling). This size is convenient because (...)

Brown plates. That camel has plenty of brown plates. Drat...I'm starting to like that color. That 8855 is staying where it is, unless you gather up enough black beams for a trade.

The low table I made last year is one of the small 30.5x30.5 inch guys, it is more like a canyon, with vertical walls on three sides and open on only one side. The walls are there to attach to the adjacent tables with the usual bolt holes. I think (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
