Recommended Posts

Dear LEGO® railroaders, dear LEGO enthusiasts, dear model railroaders,

 

We are LEGO train fans from Leipzig, Germany.  From august 13th to 26th 2020 the BAUSPIELBAHN-TREFFEN (train meeting for LEGO fans) will take place for the second time in the "Old Tram Shed Schkeuditz":

You can find a review of the first BSBT in June 2019 here (only in german, but with many pictures) (1000steine.de) here and here (video by bananenbuurman).


Like in the previous year, the focus of the event is at the large collaborated train layout we want to build together with your modules and models. We want to build a railway line across the old tram depot in Schkeuditz. 

For the second time, we will creating a large railway landscape with a double-track high-speed route and some side tracks on over 600 square meters of hall space.


If you want to be there this year, you have to register yourself ans your models until  may 31th 2020 by send us a mail (see bottom of this article). 

Some hasty interested guys have already submitted their advance registration to us; we wil send you the planning sheets for the BSBT20 in a while. We absolutely need photos and informations of your models in order to plan the layout.

example for "landscape with rails" by Pelle


We are looking for:


LEGO train and railroad fans who want to be part of a large collaboration train layout with your railway landscape model (free route, industry, level crossing, tunnel, bridge, train station or anything else). For this you should have built a MOC with a railway connection, ideally embedded in a landscape. This can be detailed as best, but it doesn't have to be.


What should you ever get:


For such a large system, we always need tracks and switches, whether 9V- or Power Functions, third party manufacturers or even self-made.

Transformers (we need a lot of power feeds, maybe we uses block operations again...)

If you want to bring a train model, please bring at least as many tracj as the model needs (standing model) or more (driving model)

Extension cables (sockets are available, but only in the walls, not in the floor or in the middle of the train shed.


And finally: 

We don't want to have more empty tracks as nessessary between all the great models. That's why we will be happy about everyone who wants to bring along an additional part of "landscape with rails" - whether straight route, curves, switches or similiar - using as railroad between stations and other models. 

In last year, we hat a six train stations and some other stuff, but only a few tracks with landscape to connect them :D


It doesn't matter...


... whether you build in a system (MILS, LEN, ... ) - or not.

... whether you use LEGO or third-party or DIY rails.

... how long your landscape is (everything from a half up to many meters can be planned.

... whether your locomotives run with 9V, PowerFunctions / Powered Up or SBrick or Buwizz or something else. 

...if yor models need or have a certein curve radius - just let us know. 


Whenever possible, we strive to take all factors into account.
