  Re: Non Lego NMRA question
 
(...) I was wondering if the camp cars were protoypical. Its a bit like a rail version of a trailor park! Tim (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Non Lego NMRA question
 
(...) This was, I think, a logging/lumber mill layout in HO. The first pic is of "camp cars" and the second, of the mill complex. I took them because I thought they might make interesting LEGO models. This layout, IIRC, was at the booth of a kit (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains)

  MUGS/M>ltc Website
 
G'day all, I am very pleased and excited to announce that MUGS (the Melbourne Lego Users Group) and M>ltc (the Melbourne Lego Train Club) have a website! We can be found at (URL). The site will be updated very soon, but for the time being, feel free (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.trains.org.mltc, lugnet.announce, FTX)
 
  Re: Last Tidbit from NMRA Show-- Unique track lead connection
 
(...) Time to build up! :-) (...) Hmmm. I've probably got at least 30 of them. Maybe it's BL time for me! (...) Wow. Sounds complicated, but not so as the GMLTC modules. They are over the top. I'll let J-1 provide the details. JOHN (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Now accepting custom track preorders for BrickFest
 
Hey all!, As some of you have noticed in the past 2 years or so, there has been a major advancement in LEGO track geometry created by the community. We have seen the development of the half section of track, crossover the correct radius switch, and (...)

  Re: Last Tidbit from NMRA Show-- Unique track lead connection
 
(...) John- That works well enough if underneath your track you have bricks and open space to run wires. Doesn't help if under the track is baseplates and tables! Bypassing the LEGO track connector wires does seem like a good idea. They are (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: SCLTC Sets World Record for Largest US Flag
 
(...) I stand corrected, though from the picture, I can't tell there exists a seem between those 2x2 green bricks (must have been those Australian builders, huh? :) ). (...) Awesome. I love it when the crowd participates. It does sound like it could (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

  Re: SCLTC Sets World Record for Largest US Flag
 
(...) David, Thomas, and I built some sample stripes using some 14 gauge Romex wire as a flexible contour guide. We locked the wire down in place using bricks on 10 48x48 stud baseplates and built the sample stripe next to it. When we got something (...)

  Re: SCLTC Sets World Record for Largest US Flag
 
Starts reply by wiping a tear from my eyes ... beautiful. So how much time and planning went into creating the pattern? What about the supporting vertical iron supports? Whose idea was that and did you just do it or engineer it? With the posts in (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

  Last Tidbit from NMRA Show-- Unique track lead connection
 
I almost forgot to share this: Because we add to our tracks for greater realism, we don't have much if any room for track lead connections. And let's face it-- the leads are quite a bulky and unsightly solution for getting power to the rails. This (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

  Re: SCLTC Sets World Record for Largest US Flag
 
(...) Club members built the first 6 rows by working on top of a pattern (a mirror image of a stripe, turned upside down so it would not stick). The shape gets locked in as soon as there are two rows of bricks in place. We used 6 rows to increase (...) (19 years ago, 19-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)
 
  Re: SCLTC Sets World Record for Largest US Flag
 
(...) What about the curve? How did you maintain structural integrity with many people building the moc (as in the shape of the curve)? From my experience with 2x2 bricks and curves they do not have a lot of clutch power. So your building technique (...) (19 years ago, 19-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)
