As noted on the mailing list, I had forgotten a couple contributors. I have updated the Track Plan accordingly.

2010 LEGOPalooza Track Plan v9 - downloaded 10 times NCLTC layout plan for 2010 LEGOPalooza. The layout plan is captured with BlueBrick. |
I have made some changes to both the table layout and the track layout based on the recent NCLUG meeting. It occurred to me that there was a better table configuration that what I had originally picked. We still have a little space left for anyone who is still interested in participating. I have also moved the layout plan over to BlueBrick which is why the images look differently than they have previously.
At the NCLUG meeting yesterday afternoon we were able to nail down some more aspects of the LEGOPalooza track plan. I have updated the plan and posted it on the 2010 LEGOPalooza page.
This morning I posted an update for the 2010 LEGOPalooza layout. The 2010 layout will be “L” shaped and will be in a corner of the room making it easier to man. If you are interested in participating, please contact me ASAP.
The NCLTC layout at 2010 LEGOPalooza will not be as large as the layout we did last year. Last year’s layout was actually too large to manage with the crowd we had and not having a wall center “donut” made the layout difficult to man. This year the layout will be an “L” shape and will be in one corner of the room. A preliminary plan should be published in the next couple days but the table configuration will look like this:
NCLTC will have a train layout on display at LEGOPalooza 2010. LEGOPalooza is an annual public display put on by NCLUG at the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It is a fun couple of days but usually very hectic. Looks like the exhibit space problem we faced last year will not be an issue this year.
This weekend NCLTC will have a large train layout on display at LEGOPalooza. LEGOPalooza is a joint effort between NCLUG and the Morehead Planetarium. Located on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, Morehead Planetarium has a large exhibition hall which will be filled with all sorts of LEGO exhibits. The train layout is just one of the exhibits which will be on display.
NCLTC has done quite a few shows over the years and pictures from the various shows we have done are scattered over BrickShelf, Flickr, and now defunct web sites. I have gathered up some of the old pictures and have started posting them to Flickr and creating pages for each show on this site.
I have posted pictures from a couple old shows, check out the page links to see some interesting old photos of the first few NCLTC layouts.
The track plan for LEGOPalooza is now finalized. It has moved around quite a bit but at this point, I think it is done. It needs to be! This is by far the largest layout NCLTC has ever done. If you are in the Chapel Hill, NC area this weekend, drop by Morehead Planetarium and check it out.
Probably not but we are getting close. With LEGOPalooza less than two weeks away, the (near) final track plan has been posted. It is coming together – I am pretty sure this will be the largest train layout NCLTC has ever done. It certainly has the largest and most interesting rail yard we’ve ever had. It may even be possible to add another train loop to the right side of the bar if we have enough train track – we’ll have to play that by ear though.
