Will have to try it out. Thanks

I'm interested. Approx 20x20 area needed.

Thanks for all the kind words about the layout. I feel it is the best I have ever done. The layout has been undergoing changes for years. Seems like I'm never happy with it. I have a couple things I'm going to change but for the most part stuff is going to get more detailed. As far a getting brick I can say that I have purchased a lot form Lego store back when it was easy to get cases of pab and it was discounted at conventions. Also I have bought out 2 individuals and that doubled my collection. On the layout I ran the outside loop on 9 volt and ran as expected. Fun fact that tract running all day the train travels 10 real miles. Inside look I dabled in powerfunctions. Ran AA battery box to 2 train motors controlled by the sbrick. It was outstanding. Being able to control the train from my phone. And people loved it. Only went through 3 battery changes. Better than I thought. As a one person show I wouldn't want to go much bigger. It took 4 hours to set up and then another couple detailing. Teardown took 2 hours. I did have some help with teardown from another guy in the club. One other thing. The base is a lot of duplo built up and 8x16 brick

My layout is displayed over this weekend at brickworld Indy. I redesigned most of the layout from last year and built quite a few new buildings. Have a few small tweaks to make but plan on keeping this one for a while.

What is the switch on the side for? Can you explain the lighting wiring more. I'm working on building an engine with my sbrick.

The current transfer table isn't powered. The previous version was powered via ir remote. The layout is 5'x24' it's just me setting it up. I can set it up in around 3 hours and took it apart and loaded in my trailer in about hour and 45 minutes The string is something from Walmart. Not sure what size or brand. Yes they are 8 wide.

Looks awesome.

i like the look of the roll off dumpster, nice use of the lift arm hook

Here are a couple videos of the layout.

Thanks guys. I can't take all the credit for the angles section. Ondrew Hardigan built that section. I added more photos and will post a video later today.

As requested here is the layout I put together and displayed this weekend at brickworld Fort Wayne https://www.flickr.com/gp/9312385@N02/s99Wbq

Just read all the thread. I'm interested in two complete circles to keep the metal rails. As far as radius. I'd be happy with the same as curve-straight corners make. 72r I think.

I have them cleaned up but have to take it all apart to clean the ends. Still having some conductivity issues. I used the highest fine sandpaper i could find and shined them right up. No damage at all. If I was home I might have done something different. But this was last night setting up fro a show today.

Has anyone ever seen it this bad. These are stored in a wood crate in a trailer for a few months. The track in the cardboard boxes was fine.

My layout is all built up 5 brick. Lots and lots of diplo and large brick plates. Some areas have a grid of 2x2 and 2x4 like gmltc did. https://flic.kr/s/aHsk8Bo2Fr

it should say no one should be drunk at a convention. Saturday was really rough but friday night was fun.

Yeah i agree with the conflicting time frames for load in and the workshops. I like the idea of having all the presentations available either at the event for download or on the web for everyone to look at later. thanks

Hi everyone, hope the ones who made Brickworld enjoyed the event. First i want to thank everyone who presented and all who attended, this adds a lot of value to the event. As the Coordinator for the workshops and presentation i want to know your thoughts. What topics interested you and how do you feel they went? What did you like and dislike? Do you have any suggestions for next year? I'd appreciate any comments or criticism and am always looking to improve for the following year for everyones benefit. Thank Mark Peterson Presentation Coordinator.

This is what i came up with for the end of the line. Flickr

here is one i built, based off walthers catalog. Flickr Mark

Very nice. Do you happen to know about Indylug? We are a group thats been meeting around indy for almost 10 years, our site is Indylug.org and say hi. We'd love to have you (im assuming your 18) thanks mark

Yes the next issue of Railbricks is in the works and it will be released soon. Mark

if you don't mind the track raising for the curve you can just float it on studs, but it will raise your track by the height of the studs. here is a picture of the corner of my layout mark

i wrote him and this is what he sent "Unfortunatly no, I don't have a Mac neither the chance to test it on Mac, and I don't know someone who debug it on Mac. However, I've downloaded Mono for Windows, but until now, I have a compiling error on Mono, so I can not debug it. Sorry." Im willing to try to figure this out, im sure there are others out there that want to run it on a mac. Unfortunately i have no idea where to start. Mark

I now am running a Mac, on Bluebrick's website it mentions using mono to load onto a mac. Has anyone done this successfully and if so please share how it works. thanks mark
