 | | November Hobby Show Layout

Okay, here's the deal: November is Hobby Show. I think it'll be really cool if we could bring some Lego Trains or Lego Robotics. What do we do? a) Run rtl14 revisited there for show. Everyone keeps their Rice Robots for a month or two, then we run (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I'm going to start a 'mini-layout' in my house after the 1st of August. It'll be probably 3 mods by 3 mods as the layout (with the middle square open for easy access), and a siding for 'park outs'. I'd like to set up something easily moved and (...)

(...) How about this-- We could use existing modules to add to this layout--ie, the Station, the Dam and a couple of "filler wing" modules ala RoadShow. That could bring us to 5x3 or so easily. Do you have an idea of what the 3x3 will look like? (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) A singularly uninspired layout: (URL) it to your HD and view it in Track Designer. The only thing going for it is that it shows where the water comes for the dam. Dave K (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Sure. It also depends on the size of the booth. The robot playfield is large, so it takes good amount of space (12x12" minimum-it's a 8x8" playfield and you need to give people space around it to move). DaveK has a 4x4 playfield, but you're (...)

(...) The booth is 40 feet of table space across the front, not including the space reserved for the train layout. (...) Ah, o.k. I see the issue. So the question becomes... do you guys _want_ to bring those type of bots; that require that kind of (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I'm noticing that the more I play with it, the more it looks like the layout from Altenberg.... (URL) and view-- In this rendition, the train yard's there, Jeff's docking area (upsidown) is there, Calum's Train Station and Cargo dock is there, and (...)

(...) I'm not sure I'll be able to put together much for the November layout myself. rtl14 will be taking up my time until September and after that I may be away. So to be safe I'll have to wait until our spring 2004 layout to contribute much. (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

K, two more uploads--one outrageously big (and looks remarkably similar to Altenburg) And the other pretty tiny--3x4 with the 2 shipyard mods on the side. (URL) K (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
