(...) Is what doable? If you're asking whether a crane can be balanced/attached sturdily enough to pick up a container that has a 2x2 round with lifteye on the top, I'd say the answer is yes... I've done it and the pictures show that NELUG did it. (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) Actually, we are doing a layout (Indianapolis GATS show in January) and it has a container yard. I think Thomas is asking whether or not we can do all the nifty container logos that the NELUG guys have done, but I'm not sure. Thomas? If you (...)

(...) Actually, this was an interLUG swap that took place early last summer. Each train group was asked to make a number of containers with their group's logo, and then send them to the organizers (I believe it was the Florida Train Club? Feel free (...)

(...) How about this: Can everyone send in their raw images and we can keep them together on Brickshelf? I'd be willing to put it together if the groups will send me their images. Steve Martin IndyLUG (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)

(...) Shaun is correct. This was a one-time container swap organized and administered by KK Quah of GFLTC. There have been a few new clubs to appear since then that have requested "in" on this. So here goes: If any train club would like to exchange (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.trains.org)

(...) Not all the stickers are a single image but this nevertheless seems a good idea. Thanks for offering! However a lot of the charm here is that each group had a different spin on how exactly they built their container. All the containers look (...)

That way we wouldn't have to ship stuff around. Each LUG or LTC could just print out the (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) Yes. I think it would be neat to publicize other LUGs and LTCs at GATS, especially since this may be the first Lego train layout at a show in Indiana and lots of attendees probably won't be familiar with Lego trains. -- TWS Garrison (URL) (...)

(...) Steve, you are one wild and crazy guy (bet you never heard *that* before!;-) I have all of the images, so it would be simpler for all if I just beamed them to you (with some extras that nobody else got in the swap). Contact me off-line. -John (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'd prefer that a second great swap be organised instead of onsies/twosies as it's loads more efficient. (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) Here is a possible solution: Create an online depository for all the LTC or LUG logos used in the making of containers. Then include with each logo a dat file or some other means of describingthe specifications of the containter. eg. color (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) I like this idea, Nate. It could be facilitated through the ILTCO web site when it gets going. In the mean time, let me offer this service to newer LTCs who missed out on the container swap (or any other LTC, for that matter). I could provide (...)

(...) Great idea. I'll be at both this year, I think, and with notice, can bring the right number of containers to swap. While this may not cover EVERY club it gets a lot of the way there for essentially zero delta cost. Hats off to J2 (or is it (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.trains.org)

I have to agree with Larry, in that the "charm" of the swap is the physical containers as well as the stickers, and knowing that the container itself traveled a great distance to be included in the layout. Plus I like getting stuff in the mail, even (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
