 | | 5th Great Western LEGO Train Show, Swindon, UK - 6/7 Oct
|
|
The Brickish Association will be displaying at STEAM, the Museum of the Great Western Railway in Swindon, UK on Saturday/Sunday 6/7 October 2007. The event title is now a little misleading as it's much more than a train show! We will have two (...) (17 years ago, 29-Sep-07, to lugnet.events, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) I'm not sure which sidewalks you are using but we did our (URL) Train Show> last Weekend and we used six-wide, two-plate (four-wide for side streets) sidewalks and then just dropped Cafe Corner (and other) modules in behind: (URL) The (...) (17 years ago, 27-Sep-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

|

Love this planner! I have often thought it would be a good tool to "see" what is being built. I had one small nit to pick about an otherwise totally gorgeous layout: Are the sidewalks raised up at all? I cannot see any sort of curb. (17 years ago, 27-Sep-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Well I am no master builder like the other commenters--in fact I hardly build anything at all. But I have seen literally thousands of creations, so consider myself a pretty good judge. This is an absolutely first rate layout. Nicely conceived (...) (17 years ago, 27-Sep-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

Thanks for the comments! Actually I'm not too confident about my LEGO-building "talent" so this kind of feedback is really important to me. (I guess I'm not the only LEGO builder who is like that.) Not to mention that Jonathan Lopez is my favorite (...) (17 years ago, 26-Sep-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Ah, I'm sorry. I thought there was an existing brick version already. No need to spend time on the screen shots. Build! :o) I'll be patient. I greatly look forward to the brick-built version. Best, Jonathan (17 years ago, 14-Sep-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(4 URLs) The design is finally done, hope you'll like it. Project's history: I started it by just making a corner as a proof of concept, to see whether it might be nicely done in minifig scale. The reason for this was that I wanted to include it in (...) (17 years ago, 14-Sep-07, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town, FTX) !!

(...) That is a very good question and I don't yet have a very good answer. Seeing the Cafe Corner modules fit on 10x10 baseplates, they will fit in with our sidewalks - they'll just have extra wide sidewalks. They'll be an extra area for these (...) (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Hi Jeff, How will Cafe Corner style buildings work in? Will the sidewalks cause problems? I assume there's a solution for this, since it's a growing style now. I have at least one "straight" section I'd like to bring. Thanks & see you there! (...) (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
