Coming on the heels of the Westmoreland debacle, the LVRR show was outstanding. We were repeatedly told by the show organizers how much they appreciated having us there and how they would love to have us back each year. The display itself came together fairly quickly Friday night and consisted of three primary sections and four rail lines. The first section was a small farm layout by Laura. Matt built a cool paddock using the abundant amount of white fence pieces the LUG has. The next section was a residential and shopping district featuring lots of Modulars, the Simpson’s House (from Dac), Doug’s townhouses, Ben’s observation deck, and a few of my houses. Everything was tied together using my brick built roads. The last area was a downtown area featuring a few of my skyscrapers.
Here are some miscellaneous thoughts. It was sweet running four trains at once. I really need to get some minifig scale Pittsburgh buildings completed (I was using my leftovers from Richmond which were very well received but not recognizable). We discussed doing a “moonscape” for next year featuring the monorail, a space train, and other space related MOCs. Overall, a great event that I would recommend doing again.
