thanks for the reference with pictures, dave. i think my brain mixed the 6582
and 1687 sets together ‘cause i’m remembering it differently but those have got
to be the only sets that match what i’m remembering.

While I can’t comment on the accuracy of the model (I’ve never been to Europe),
I’ve got to say that is quite an excellent LEGO town.

i need help identifying/finding a set. i seem to remember a town/flight set
that included a black airplane that had an odd double-tail fin design very much
like the 6582 daredevil flight squad plane
(http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/6582-1).
it seems like it was available in the early 1990's but i could be remembering
the set incorrectly. does anybody remember this set?

Last week Esben K. posted pictures of his model of Kartoffelrækkerne (a
quarter in Copenhagen built in the late 19th century). The model was
presented at LEGO World in Copenhagen this year, but I still think it
deserves an even wider audience:

Esben created some very nice models here. I love the activity in the scene.

Lasse.Vestergård posted this model of the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde on
www.byggepladen.dk yesterday:
The model was presented for the first time to the public at LEGO World in
Copenhagen last week. I think it deserves to be shared with the rest of the
world.
Play well,

Yeah, I just finished a building for Brickmania’s new super cool Vietnam
diorama, and I’ve dropped 8 Lifelites into that, and I’ve got another
building to go! Maybe I’ll finance anniversary diamonds for Rob’s wife...

I think Dan is bringing this to Bricks by the Bay. I can’t wait to see it!

I promised two updates this week, and so here is the second one for this
week, and it actually involves more Lifelites.
We had already
wired
Harold up to make his
rotor
spin, and that is cool, but we decided that we needed to light up his
helipad as well. And so
HERE is the result. I needed to drill holes all the way up through the
corners, and it was kind of a pain, but I think that the results made it
worth the effort.
I’m the kind of guy (ADHD no doubt;-) that thinks that the more flashing
lights and moving stuff, the better.

I look forward to public reaction to it this Saturday for our monthly open

Oh now you’re corrupted! the drilling holes won’t be the end of it--not by a
long shot :)
|
I’m afraid to ask, Dave-- what else is there???
| |
The landing pad looks fantastic! nicely done!!
|
Thanks!
| |
And now that you’re on this long road of lifelites, prepare to drill more
holes all over the layout! :)

Hi John,
How are you lighting the subway. And then on the next couple videos it your
layout at “night”. What kind of lights are you using to light the building
interiors? Very nice BTW! SteveB
|
Thanks, Steve. As you already know all too well, the credit goes to Ross!
The interior lights and the subway lights are the same; I found them on ebay.
Here is a link.
We run about 3 of those off of a 9 volt transformer.

Last week I didn’t get a chance to post a weekly feature, and so I’ll do two
this week!
This one picks up on a little project I
posted about a while ago.
I ordered my Lifelites (thanks, Rob!), they came prompty,
and I promptly dropped some into my copy of
Steven Asbury’s ladder 4
firetruck that we feature on the TCLTC layout.
As Rob warned me HERE, I drilled a lot
of holes (12 so far), and HERE are the results so
far.
I plan on lighting up the rear lights, too, but need to order more lights. I
think that it’s looking pretty hot, if not cool!

I’ve been building in a reduced scale ever since I dismantled my most recent
Urban Landscape. The hope is that the next Urban Landscape will be built in
this reduced scale. This would allow me to pack more into it - more
buildings, etc.
Here are the first results:

Wow. Did I know that you dismantled your layout?
|
I was quite certain I *foxed* a memo to you. :o)
| |
Gosh, that’s really sad,
because it was so cool,
|
thanks. It was time. So much has happened since I dismantled it that it was
actually really good that I did it at that time. I’ve since redone my storage,
completed and delivered a 7x7 foot commission and then moved to a new apartment.
| |
but this new scale is very cool as well. Unique, too!
|
thanks. I am really happy with the way these are coming out. They definitely
lack in detail but I’m OK with that.
| |
I’m loving Engine 226; we will have to photograph ours together at Brickfête!
 <=Ashcan smiley!
And I need to find that Milwaukee Road SD40-2 Ross built at that scale (5
wide it was, IIRC). I would gladly donate it to the JLLTC

That’d be sweet. I was planning on 5 wide trains.
thanks again,
Jonathan

Bricktopia????!!! Wow! A blast from the past! Nice work, Brad. Glad to see
you are still working on the project.
JOHN

Thanks - Yeah - I have actually been building a lot, but got lazy about posting,
and even photographing. I’ve taken pics and will be posting several newer
buildings.

The web pages for NALUG's display at the 2011 Great Edmonton Train Show
are now finished. This year we had many new creations based on well-known
business chains, as well as a variety of other MOCs. Also back for another
appearance were the High Level, LRT and bascule bridges.
Also done is a web page for the Red Deer Model Train & Hobby show.
Both can be viewed from the main NALUG web page at:
<http://www.nalug.org>
Comments welcome.
