The Michigan LEGO® Train Club will display a 20'x 50' layout, complete with five loops of running trains, three rail yards with a functional roundhouse, remote switches and decouplers, a kids' play area, and much more!

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 (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains.org)

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.

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).

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)
