More precisely, the room for the 12V layout is 21.5 x 27 feet. The 4.5V layout may be combined with the classic sets display, depending on size requirements and interest. ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Kramer <kramersinva@yahoo.com> To: (...)

(...) Great. It sounds like we will be able to have a pretty extensive layout. Also, I think we can accommodate 4.5v as part of the 12v. We can set up some sidings without conducting rails so the 4.5v signals can be used. We can also incorporate a (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jun-02, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) Tom Cook and I discussed the train rooms this past weekend. Train will get 2 rooms, since they're smaller this year. I believe the 9v layout will be in one room and the 12v right across the hall. So there would be plenty of room for a 12v (...)

Hi Kevin, I really enjoyed your train variation of 1592. Very nice to see that inspirations never ends :-) Is it ok to add these pics to "the hall of fame"?? Kind regards, HoMa (22 years ago, 25-Jun-02, to lugnet.trains)

Nice! Captures a similar happy spirit of the original 1592. There's nothing like the classic style minifig faces. And the out of the box thinking shows that its impossible to run out of 1592 ideas... Mark (22 years ago, 25-Jun-02, to lugnet.trains)

Seeing the other 1592 variations has inspired me to create a 1592 alternate in the best theme of all - TRAIN! Also it uses alot of minifigs with my favorite torso pattern. (URL) Enjoy! Kevin (22 years ago, 25-Jun-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.trains, lugnet.build) !!
