Hello All, I was curious about a meeting this month. Any ideas floating out there? What are all of you thinking about for this month? I was also thinking...
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...

... I should be able to make it, though I doubt I can stay all day both days -- maybe we can work out a rotation schedule? I'll bring the hotel, which is on a...

... Oops, I skimmed too quickly the first time and missed this. I couldn't make it the following weekend either. I think maybe every six months or so would...
... More like having them all look like one large building. ... Let's not worry about road plates. I can cover almost anything that we can do. Besides, I would...
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...

... Hmm... I wonder if there's enough time for us to build some motorized cows? I have an NXT set now, but I don't have a magnetic sensor for it. I could...
... 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...

i have a fourth cafe corner that could be used and would love to build something but am not sure if i can make it or if i have the time to build something....
I "should" be able to make it, but I don't have anything built at the moment. I am still in need of a roof for a circular building, the base and walls are...
I would definitely be up for building some farm buildings/surroundings/accessories, etc. And I can help out on Saturday, but Sunday¹s a no-go. Also, there is...

... Meghan, are you in Fort Collins by any chance? I've built the motorized cows, but I'm not sure I can build a decent barn to hide the motors; if you're in...
Hey Joe-- I'm in Westminster, but I was needing to head to Fort Collins at some time in the next week or so anyway, so maybe I can be in town at a time when...
Hi Joe and Meghan, Okay, so I'm going to have to arrange for someone to fend for my buildings at the Mills since I've got previous commitments both Sat and ...
I'm seeing alot of people that are able to come for Saturday but not Sunday. Would it be better to have a one day event instead. This might be easier with...
<snip> Replying to myself... My wife and I started my second Cafe Corner tonight, and I've got a start on the other building that I wanted to do. -Joel...
