As Christina mentioned, Tom Cook and I will be hosting/coordinating the
train room at Brickfest.
Tom and I are leaning toward the idea of a layout that we can take
our time constructing and enjoy the process. We're encouraging
a free-form layout with structures and trains from all the
interested participants. It will take longer to set up and most
likely require some re-dos, but the "fun" will be in the
actual set-up with all the different trainheads. We can
make changes whenever we desire to enhance the presentation or the
operation or when visitors arrive with new MOCs. The primary
focus will be 9v, but we hope to have a some 12v and 4.5 area as well.
In addition to a complete town layout with a good complement of
trains (as noted above), I was thinking of also having
another area filled with TONS of track since we frequently
have more trains than track to run them on. We can try to
see how many trains we can have running simultaneously!
And the train races will be phosted here, possible pulling contents, etc
So feel free to bring any MOC- buildings, structures, or rolling stock that
you like, and we'll try to incorporate it.
We probably don't need to know every little thing people are bringing. But
if you're bringing a lot of stuff, something especially large, or simply
must have a separate display area of your own, please let me know directly at:

Thanks, and any comments or suggestions you have for Tom and I would be
appreciated.

I'll be bringing some 12v and 4.5v (7735, 7720, a 7715 constructed from my parts bin, a 7719 constructed from my parts bin, and a 7740/7715/7719 styled club car). I will probably bring a small bit of blue (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

| (...) Greg, Is the layout going to be 8wide compatible? Also, of the train people coming to brickfest, is there anyone who models 8wide trains(1)? -chris 1- not implying 6widers are not as good as 8widers by any means. (23 years ago, 30-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

| Greg & Tom, I pretty much have the Rail Racers system ready to go for the fest. I don't if an area has been layout for the them yet.
