8 days to BrickFest! I don't think I'll get a track plan made up ahead of time, but I think it will be fun to develop a track plan when we get there (and expand if some of the track doesn't show up until later). What I would ask is that people driving bring as much track as they feel comfortable with. There is some stuff I want to make sure we have, if you will be bringing any of these items, please let me know. Transformers: step up transformer (I feel we need capacity to run at least 3 transformers, if not more, please indicate the wattage of your step up) 740 blue, 220v 741 blue, 220v 742 blue, 100v 740 style grey? (seen several times on ebay) 7864 Track (these are minimums, we want as much as possible of course): Crossing: blue 4.5v grey 4.5v blue 12v grey 12v Points 1 pr blue 4.5v 1 pr grey 4.5v 1 pr blue 12v remote 1 pr grey 12v remote Straight blue 4.5v blue conductor rails grey 4.5v grey conductor rails Curve blue 4.5v blue conductor rails grey 4.5v grey conductor rails Accessories: 7860 signal track 7862 remote decoupler track 7866 electric crossing gates 7867 light posts 5062 4.5v signal and direction switch (red) 156 4.5v signal and direction switch (blue) Trains: MOCs! (I will bring my Beyer-Garrat) (if you have blue/red style passenger cars we can add them to this train) 7740 (bring as many cars in this color scheme as you have) 7745 (this would be cool to run a big one also) 727 (blue era 12v motor - I'm bringing a modified one) If you have any 4.5v or 12v sets in box, let me know what you want to bring for display (these can be displayed in the historical room, or we can have a table of historical train sets). Since there will be a PNLTC mall show the same weekend, I will be leaving my 7735 and a transformer behind for use there. I'm getting pretty excited about this! Frank

(...) I'll list off what I can bring (changed slightly since my last email to you, Frank). After review and comparing with other's items, let me know what you need: Step-up transformer (I have one with dual outlets, so 2 things can be plugged in) (...)

		12v Trains at BrickFest! (was Re: BrickFest tentative Train agenda)
(...) Ok folks, it's time to start really planning this. I'd like to see a huge 12v layout created which can run several trains at once. I plan on bringing at least as much track as I brought to BricksWest, which was enough for a loop with a siding (...)
