A bit of a delayed post – should have done this Friday night. Setup was fairly painless this year. The room was available earlier than expected which always helps with setip. The layout tables are slightly different than the ones we used for the plan which meant we had to adjust a bit on the fly but it worked out. The layout is a nice size – an “L” shape about 15′ on each leg.
Pictures will be posted soon but if you have a chance today, head over to Chapel Hill toi catch Day 2 of LEGOPalooza from 1:00 – 4:00. The room is much more spread out so the crowd problems we had last year are not an issue this year – at least they weren’t yesterday!

V11 of the 2010 LEGOPalooza train layout plan has been posted. Hopefully this will be the final plan since LEGOPalooza set up is tomorrow afternoon. Let me know ASAP if you see any issues.

LEGOPalooza is a week away so I am trying to finalize the track plan. This is the latest with Will Stroh picking up some of the space I was going to use.

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

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.
