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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]

Nothing! Unfortunately it is fairly accurate. We don’t have anything lined up for this coming Holiday Season but I haven’t really been seeking anything out either. We won’t be doing a LEGO tree at Tinsel Town, at least not with a train, there was too little disregard for the train and it took a pretty [...]
Shaun Sullivan announced his LEGO Train Odomoter (aka LEGOdometer) on LUGNET last week. Shaun’s LEGOdometer measures the distance a train runs up to 99.99 miles and is remarkably accurate. This is truly a remarkable project, the description of the whole project is well worth reading. It really is amazing what some people figure out what [...]
Ever since the demise of GATS, there hasn’t been a regular train show in the Raleigh area for NLCTC to participate in. The Nuese River Valley Railroad Club puts on a show in November but it falls on a weekend which I have a prior commitment and until I am finished with the Y-Princess program, [...]
