(...) I think I know about which bridge you speak;-) Yup, Brickfair and Brickfête. AND Brickworld. Hopefully Brickscascade. But mostly as a vendor selling Brickwear. But I'll bring some Brickmocs, too. That's a lot of bricks! JOHN (12 years ago, 30-Jan-12, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)

(...) Wow! I'm going to need to borrow a bridge from Paul to support that monster. Also, Your coming to Brickfair? This is going to be fun. Cale (12 years ago, 30-Jan-12, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)
 
  Re: Weekly Feature of the TCLTC Layout: TCLTC Subway Stations
 
(...) LOL, well, I'm definitely coming to Brickfair this year, so I'll have to see what I can do. Maybe I'll bring (URL) this trolley>. That ought to do some damage! JOHN (12 years ago, 30-Jan-12, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)
 
  Re: Weekly Feature of the TCLTC Layout: TCLTC Subway Stations
 
(...) Yeah, I have vague recollections of trolleys crashing down onto our PennLUG layout at that show. And it was a lot of fun. Maybe we can do it again some day. Lately the only trolleys crashing on our layout have been our own. Cale (12 years ago, 30-Jan-12, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)

  Re: Weekly Feature of the TCLTC Layout: TCLTC Subway Stations
 
(...) Thanks, Cale. Oh man, you remember that??!! Yeah, touch sensors aren't the way to go with that set-up. We did it that way because we couldn't fit the backside of the layout in the car! That was a good show; we had a great time. JOHN (12 years ago, 29-Jan-12, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)
 
  Re: Weekly Feature of the TCLTC Layout: TCLTC Subway Stations

(...) Now that I own a GPS, and work gave me some time off (over the next few months) I could SO see this happening! Regards Chris BED Pie Judge (12 years ago, 29-Jan-12, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)
 
  Re: Weekly Feature of the TCLTC Layout: TCLTC Subway Stations
 
(...) Thanks for the kind words, Chris! As for transporting the layout: not much of a chance there. We are on permanent display at the Brickmania Toyhouse, and we will have just moved into our new space as of April 1st. It is going to be an awesome (...)

Yes, I agree; the mosiac is quite lovely! He did good work down there! We put our favorite movies into the posters-- gotta admit that This is Spinal Tap was my favorite. (URL) I will have to post better pics of the subway cars-- they are vary nace. (...) (12 years ago, 29-Jan-12, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)
 
  Re: Weekly Feature of the TCLTC Layout: TCLTC Subway Stations
 
(...) Really nice. But then I should expect that from you and Ross. The ping pong subway looks to be working really well. A lot better than your trolley set up at the NMRA show in Philly a few years ago. ;) Cale (12 years ago, 28-Jan-12, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)

(...) Ross, John, As a guy who rode Toronto's subway system for many many years, I have to say this. WOW!!!! Very very cool! Nicely done. Ross, Those subway cars are even more impressive than the stations. Together, that display looks amazing. I (...) (12 years ago, 27-Jan-12, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)
