Hello All, I was wondering if a date has been decided about the meeting for July. Should we see about next Saturday (7/14)? I do not know where you would...
I would suggest a Sunday meeting for July, so the 15th. There are some people who work on Saturdays and are unable to attend. I figure that if we alternate...
I like the idea of alternating the meeting day between Saturday and Sunday. With that, I also like the idea of bouncing back and forth between Denver Metro...

Hi Joe, I've got three Jawas and two Ewoks that I'm happy to loan. I can bring them in tomorrow, and you could pick them up from TechnoJava. Would that work...

Hello All, I was wondering if there was a meeting this month and how did it go? Was a meeting for August mentioned at the meeting? I am sorry I could not...

All, I apologige for the lack of response from my end. The past couple of months have been very work-heavy and is just now letting up some. I am currently...

Hi Duane, I can contribute a small three-story hotel (standard gray baseplate), some standard locomotives (BNSF and Santa Fe), and a custom caboose, as well as...
Hi Duane, I'm sure I can bring a few buildings from Legoton (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=253194). These are all 16x32 or 32x32 base, so...
Duane, I would like to contribute to the display as well. I am finishing up a Union Pacific model of the DD40X I would like to add. I also have a BNSF GP60M...
Sweet! That's awesome. I was going to default to sets if there were no custom rolling stock available. I have four custom coal cars (might try 1 or 2 more) and...
I'd certainly be interested. I'm not much of a town builder (yet), but I could contribute a Cafe Corner, and I've got some green road plates as well as lots...
Hi All, First, I'm sorry I completely dropped the ball about the Boulder Library and whether we can display there. As some of you know, my wife and I have a 7...

... Hey, that's two Cafe Corners (Joel has one too)! We should consider adopting this as our standard scale, and maybe even adopt the interconnection system...
I'm a little reluctant to do that as the only scale since most of my town buildings are on the train club 16x32 or 32x32 platforms. But I'm flexible. - Stuart...
I think that we can live with two standards for now. Building on a base of 16 x 32 give lots of flexibility in mixing and matching for a layout. Also, by...
I have some solid information now. Plan for the weekend of September 22-23. All day Saturday and Sunday at Colorado Mills Mall outside the LEGO store. We will...

OK, I have added a new photo album for planning for the event. I have uploaded a preliminary layout. As stated earlier, I will provide the road plates. Plots...

... Could we use the ultrasound sensor to detect motion? Then we could set it up so that when sensor A is triggered, that's where the cows look. If sensor B is...
