  Re: GMLTC at the NMRA National Convention
 
These models are awesome. I like the detail in the three dimensional landscape... the track following the river's edge and a river where the water level actually gets progressively lower: (URL) too bad TLG group doesn't have a "freestyle" or (...) (25 years ago, 2-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: GMLTC at the NMRA National Convention
 
I just wanted to tip my hat off to all of you that did a simply stupendous and awesome job on the convention, I have been truly inspired! This goes way beyond anything I could have imagined! I have a few comments: Did TLG (LG) ever help you in terms (...) (25 years ago, 2-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: GMLTC at the NMRA National Convention
 
(...) First, *Thanks* for the kind words! TLG so far has given us two keychains, and an "Idea Book". We've contacted them a few times, and a few 'Special Events' people saw the layout at The Great Create last fall. They say "Great job, keep up the (...) (25 years ago, 2-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: GMLTC at the NMRA National Convention
 
...Love the pics... I dream that we can get a setup 1/1000th as good! But I do have a building question... ...In the pic (URL) what are those girder pieces? I dont recognize them, but they'd be darn handy! (25 years ago, 8-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: GMLTC at the NMRA National Convention
 
(...) Those are 2x2 5h girders. They were available in black in 6444 Outback Airstrip, (URL) in red in 1682 Space Shuttle (URL) think 1682 has 8 of them. Conan has a shoebox sized bin about 1/2 full of the red ones. He parted out a LOT of 1682s. (25 years ago, 8-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: GMLTC at the NMRA National Convention

  Re: GMLTC at the NMRA National Convention
 
(...) THey look like they would be perfect for my amusement park's Drop Tower - How do I contact Conan, and what are his usual terms? Thanks, Paul Sinasohn Drop Tower seats are designed, thanks to Dave :-) (25 years ago, 10-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: GMLTC at the NMRA National Convention
 
(...) Conan is a one way street. The Lego only goes one direction;-) He laughs when we tell him the value of certain pieces he has, or what something sold for on Ebay. He does have a ton of MIB sets that he wants to eventually sell off (...) (25 years ago, 10-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Pass a message through one of the John boys. (Gerlach, Kelly, Neal). He has an antiquated mac and never surfs. (...) "<smile> Not for sale". That's his standard answer, anyway. (25 years ago, 10-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

In case anyone is still interested, I had to move the GMLTC layout pictures to the following location due to disk full warnings. (URL) Paul Foster (URL) (25 years ago, 11-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: GMLTC at the NMRA National Convention
 
(...) ...Ok, this is a piece we need to plan a secret night raid into LEGO headquarters to liberate... I could name at least 4,122 uses for those girders, not the least of which is to make great bridge supports... (25 years ago, 13-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Convention Coverage (was GMLTC at the NMRA National Convention)
 
So has anyone heard of any magazine coverage of the NMRA convention. What monthly issue of Model Railroader usually covers the convention? Any other mags to check? (25 years ago, 13-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: GMLTC at the NMRA National Convention
 
(...) ...Well, I think it might be the only choice we have! They don't take personal orders (like for the 13,592 2x4 red bricks I need), and they don't want to release good service packs (like a 20 of girders)... I think a night raid just might be (...) (25 years ago, 15-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) According to a video at Legoland-California, the brick molding operation runs 24/7 but only 320 days/year. Steve (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: GMLTC at the NMRA National Convention
 
When I worked in the factory (12 years ago) we had no contact with the brick molding people. We knew where they were, and every once and a while one of them would come out with a dumpster of deformed bricks. It looks like maybe a Chistmas Eve raid (...) (25 years ago, 17-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
