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

Here's what I'll bring:

7864 with 2 prong plug
7864 with 3 prong plug
110v-240v step-up transformer (40 watt)
240v multi-outlet power bar (if I can find it)

Track - 12v
2 crossings
50 straight
50 curve
3 left points (remote and manual)
3 right points (remote and manual)
1 7860 signal track
1 7862 remote decoupler track
1 7866 electric crossing gates

Trains
