The Richmond LEGO® Users Group (RichLUG) will be participating in its fifth
train show event the weekend following Thanksgiving – November 29-30, 2003.
This is the 26th Annual Model Railroad Show
hosted by the local Richmond Freelance and Prototype (RF&P) Model Railroaders
Club. It will be held at the Science Museum of Virginia
here in Richmond.
This show was originally scheduled for the weekend that Hurricane Isabel blew
through the area. As it turned out the change in dates has turned out to be
great for me in terms of getting some new stuff built for this show. I’ll be
showing off such new MOC’s as a block of four residential buildings and a small
park to go along Tim Freshly’s version of Brickmond’s Monument Ave and a small
graveyard. I’m also currently working on a trailer park.
I know other members are working on their own creations so I’m looking forward
to having a brand new Brickmond display for the public to enjoy.
RichLUG has also decided – given the weekend the show is now happening on – to
have a parade as part of display. This will be a
Thanksgiving/Christmas/Anything Goes kind of parade. After building my
residential buildings with all the balconies, it occurred to me that a parade
would be the perfect reason to have folks hanging out on them. On the day that
thought occurred to me and I planned to e-mail the other RichLUG folks, the
latest LEGO Maniacs Mag show up with its plug for building a parade. I love
synchronistic coincidences!
We’re also excited that members of HaRdLUG (Hampton
Roads LEGO Users Group) will be joining us on Saturday for the show and
contributing some of their creations to the mix.
Anyone else who’s in the neighborhood that weekend – and not busy shopping - is
invited to stop by, say “howdy” and hang out with us for a while. The museum is
open on Saturday 9:30 A.M. – 5:00 P.M. and Sunday 11:30 A.M. – 5:00 P.M. The
train show is included in the regular admission ticket to the museum.
