Tom & All, Well, if it is any help, we will be bringing our MichLUG tables to BrickFest for my display, so there is a little help. If we need some more tables, I may be able to bring some. Tom, please e-mail me when you get a chance. Scott S. -- (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) The big downside of this is that it becomes (significantly) more difficult to take good pictures of the layout, and to really appreciate all the details in everybody's constructions. It might be nice to use the tables as much as possible, (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.events.brickfest)

The 9V Train and Town layout will be in a room with 3' x 20' for static displays and 25' x 38' for the layout (there is also a smaller second room for the 12V, 4.5V, and more static displays). Since there will not be enough tables for everything, I (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.events.brickfest)

More precisely, the room for the 12V layout is 21.5 x 27 feet.

(...) Great. It sounds like we will be able to have a pretty extensive layout. Also, I think we can accommodate 4.5v as part of the 12v. We can set up some sidings without conducting rails so the 4.5v signals can be used. We can also incorporate a (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jun-02, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.events.brickfest)
