(...) GMLTC and WAMALUG reps have already described the two main modes, "one person plus", and "pooled with ownership known". At some point, perhaps, someday, some club will come into significant funds via some windfall or major activity to raise (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) So when you say K-8 you mean a K-8 sized box filled with random bricks. I should clarify what I said. I was a factory slob (material handler), so when I mean stored I mean that the bricks get molded placed in a box, and then the box is emptied (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) the way we do it is: most of the buildings and large structures are built beforehand... buildings, shops, bridges, trains, etc... trains of the same or very similar types are marked somehow.. either say.. a missing plate/grill/tile off the (...) (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) That's a good question. At the GMLTC, 99% of the bricks are owned by 1 guy, Conan, and we just play with his bricks. Since many of us have our own large collections, sometimes people bring their own MOCs to shows and they remain separate. (...) (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) was (...) These days, the playtables are usually stocked with K-8s that have been filled with parts from semi-recent sets. They don't seem to be complete sets, so I don't know if they are damaged sets, end of run leftovers, or what. Frank (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org)

Just a reminder that I never read that email account anymore, just been too lazy to change my account here. K8 is roughly 24 inches by 18 inches by about 36 inches. LEGO was moving to a plastic bin for storage internally when I left. I'll have to (...) (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) If you live near a LEGO store/imagination center/park ask the manager to loan you a K8 for the show. They keep a couple of them around to stock the play table in the store and for special events. Another alternative is to ask Lego Direct (...) (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) Besides being a box size that LEGO uses to store bricks (as I remember it, not that many bricks styles were actually stored in the K-8 size boxes, but that was 10 years ago) what is a K-8? Thanks, Chris (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org)

After looking at WAMALUG's most recent pictures I wondered who owned burp mountain? Does a member own it (no I am not looking for a name) or is it property of WAMALUG. A more general question is how do most groups handle this? I always assumed that (...) (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org)
