| | | (...) 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 (...)

| | | | Congratulations and great work on getting the play area supplies form TLG. Will I have to go to Calgary to find out what the secret surprise is? Did you want me to bring my roundhouse? The turntable is sunken, so it wouldn't work on a regular table. (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains.org)

| | | | (...) Secret surprise?? If you mean the "future of LEGO trains", you'll have to wait for Mr. Justus to make his announcement. AFAIK he won't be in Calgary, but it would be cool if he were to visit. :-) (...) It can still be a great non-functioning (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains.org)

| | | | | (...) How do you want me to do this? I have a container yard, which occupies right now 7x3 (32x32) plates. Roughly, this takes 3 tracks (plus one mainline passes through it), and there are some neat things with the containers (a overhead crane made (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

My personal inclination would be to do a much larger version of the itty-bitty container yard we had at the GETS layout.. a couple sidings available for loading/offloading, and some cars in various states of load, with a large area just full (...)

|
| | | | | | | If we have room for other yards, I have just completed an enclosed double decker car carrier, so far it only fits convertibles, but I will try to alter the roof, to allow regular cars in the top rack. I'll bring it to Edmonton on the 13th. I will (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

| | | | | | | | (...) I think I can squeeze in an auto-loading section on one side of the switching yard - I'll try to include it in the next layout posting. I would be concerned though about everyone's cars getting back to their respective owners. I'm going to (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

Function is cool & a bonus, but I'd rather have two static display pieces instead of 1 functional. (...) Hmm. Setup/takedown isn't my big (...)

| | | | | | (...) With the much improved rope barrier and the huge play area to distract grabbing/touching, not to mention the elongated "three-sided shape" meaning we're mostly facing one direction, I think we should be OK. Of course any AFOL from NALug and/or (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains.org)

| | | | John, If I use the GETS money to buy one of the packs of conveyor belts from myself, and then use superglue to permanently stick the mailboxes (or safes, lets not go there again!) to the threads, do you think that would fix the problem?

| | | | It's moot (for this show anyway) unless you guys can build it up higher. As with the turntable, the tables are rentals, so anything that is displayed has to still flat on top of the tables - no cut-out. (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
