Thanks, Rob, for the info. I will make updates as necessary.

Is this Lego Train Club container swap a yearly event ?? I would like more information , for the 2004 swap . Container size , LTC’s, etc. Australian Lego train clubs ?? I know I may be a bit early ! But I don’t want to missout .

I would like to start collecting some World wide LTC containers !!

Thanks , Teunis. Australia .

IIRC, you’re a member of the nascent M>LTC, right? The containers are the standard 4x8 containers that LEGO uses. (1) These are somewhat on the small side, especially for clubs that work in 8 wide, but it’s sort of tradition at this point. There are a number of designs kicking around for building these economically.(2)

I’d love to see a container swap happen at BrickFest PDX 2004 but as of yet I haven’t secured an organizer for it. Anyone who is coming and who might be able to coordinate this, please contact me.

I’d also like to see us do a “commemorative container” like we did in DC, again, I don’t have an organizer yet and if you’re interested please contact me.

I’ve added events.brickfest to the groups for awareness but set FUT to just trains.org

1 - as in 4549 :

    4549 Road 'N Rail Hauler
446 elements, 2 figures, US$52, 1993
LEGO > SYSTEM > Trains > 9v > Train Cars
The instructions for ths set are on BrickShelf and will give you some ideas

2 - for example NGLTC’s design or MichLTC’s design... there are others as well.

(...) Thanks for the info Lar. How does this generally work? Do all clubs that register bring enough containers to swap with all the others? Or do you choose who you want to swap with beforehand?
