Where did the big bin of MILS bricks end up after Trolley teardown, and can we bring it to CSC? I’m hoping to build/rebuild a couple track modules during my shift.

I don’t have it so I assume it went to Josh’s. @joshhall can you confirm?
I should be able to take it with me on Friday load in. I can stop by Josh’s to pick it up when convenient for him.
Tim are you not bringing your buildings this year?
@gabevistica I was waiting to allow everyone else to chime in. I can fill in unclaimed space as needed with some buildings. 🙂
i just got my fingers on a wind turbine, ill have it MILSd but im not sure if there is a good spot for it or if anyone has had one of the track before, the clearance is 30-35 bricks depending on how its angled

@schu54321, how about MOC space #16 on the layout, next to your Botanical Garden? That would balance out the “look” (height wise) with the Behemoth Bridge. 30 bricks vertical clearance is just over 11 inches, which should be fine for anything running on the tracks.
Bob, If there is still space that you need filled I can contribute. I have my fire scene (4×2 32×32 including the road plates) and my larger Fire House (64×48 studs) I could contribute. I wanted to give time for others to come in and display their stuff before I came in with the same buildings I usually have. I should be available for Install, OT on Fridays for me is seeming to be less frequent than it used to.

@willmcdine, here’s the link again to the space planning layout with what’s still available. Nothing quite fits the footprints that you mentioned, but here’s what we do have left:
* Spaces 19 & 20: (2) 32×32 with (2) 32×32 road plates adjacent. We could pull the (2) road plates and put your larger firehouse there and then add some 16×32 blanks to fill it out.
* Spaces 13, 14 & 15: (2) 32×32 + (1) 16×32 with no adjacent roadway. We can stretch that out to (3) 32×32 places by removing the adjacent 16×32 green blank that I have shown. I put that there to give us clear space to run the 9v wires from the controller to the track, but it can be removed as long as we can get the wires past whatever you put there.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tN5VadkOzo39mNHT8MtlK5hc1BVYeMvLQ0_zjIYKcao/edit?usp=sharing
I unfortunately have been sick the last few weeks and won’t be able to partake in the CSC Locomotive Weekend this year. It’s been a serious health issue and I need to fully recover before I can do another train show.
I want to thank @rcgrier3406 and @joshhall for working so hard on the layout to try to fit the bridge. Hopefully by giving a week’s heads up, there’s still time for you guys to plan ahead and put the railyard back where the bridge was planned.
I will plan to participate with the coming Home and Garden Show in March and to provide my trains and Behemoth Bascule Bridge for that exhibit.
Thanks,
MPL@playingwithechoes Feel better soon! We will miss you.
Do we still have enough trains to run?
@playingwithechoes, thanks for the heads up and we all hope you feel better soon!! Won’t be the same without you there!!
I still have the base layout with the rail yard in the Google Sheets file, so I’ll update that over the weekend with the MOC spaces that people have reserved. We might have to shift 1 or 2 MOC spaces, but that shouldn’t be an issue.
@amplef0rth is going to take up the entire 10×4 baseplate area (where the double 9v loop was running) with his Winter Village so that’s (2) less 9v loops to worry about.
In addition to the 9v Mr. Rogers Trolley and the black 9v Steam Locomotive and cars that I usually bring, I also recently acquired the white RC High Speed Passenger Train set and will bring that as well. We also have the LUG’s orange and black RC Diesel engine that I built last year that we can swap in to give other motors a break.
@rcgrier3406 Do you need any more modulars? I can’t staff, but can bring some down (or get them to you) to for the display.
Here’s the link to the revised Base Layout with the Rail Yard put back in. I’ve also attached a .pdf file. (1) 32×32 and (2) 16×32 MOC spaces had to be deleted from the previous layout with the Bridge, but none of those had been claimed by anyone yet so no issues.
Currently we have (5) unclaimed 32×32 MOC spaces remaining, namely #6, 13, 14, 19 and 20. @willmcdine, @knb112 and @timf have all expressed interest in displaying, so now’s the time to claim the spaces that are left.
There are also (4) 32×32 green blanks at each of the four corners, plus a number of 16×32 green blanks scattered throughout the layout that could be swapped out for MOC’s. Some of those were inserted to provide clearances at the corners for Michael’s longer rolling stock, which we won’t have running this year. If anyone is interested in any of those, just let me know.

Thanks @knb112. I just posted the revised layout with the Rail Yard put back in. There are (5) 32×32 MOC spaces still unclaimed, but several others have also expressed interest in displaying. I expect my car will be full with all the LUG MILS bins and my own stuff, so if you claim any of those and can bring them down and pick them up that would be great.
Attached are the Load-in, Parking and Access Instructions that we’ve received from the Science Center, as well as maps that show where the Loading Dock, Security Entrance and our Display will be located.
In summary:
* Our Load-in time is 1 pm on Friday 1/16 at the Point View Hall (PVH) loading dock. They will have carts available to get our stuff upstairs. Once your stuff is upstairs, you will need to move your car to one of the Science Center parking lots.
* Please take a ticket when you enter the parking lots and bring it upstairs with you each day. They will provide parking vouchers.
* Re-enter the building through the Security Entrance, which are the double Red Doors on the west side of the building. Tell the guard at the security desk that you’re with Steel City LUG and are there for Locomotion Weekend. They may ask you to sign in.
* After leaving security, go down the long hallway and then all the way through the Cafe to the elevator bank on your left, and then take that to the 3rd floor (Point View Hall).
* Our display location is shown on the 3rd page of the attached floor plan, which is immediately on your left as you enter Point View Hall.Thanks @knb112.

Thanks @rcgrier3406. I’ll defer to @willmcdine and @timf, but if you need anything last minute I can pop down.
Currently we have (5) unclaimed 32×32 MOC spaces remaining, namely #6, 13, 14, 19 and 20.
@rcgrier3406 I will take spaces #13, #14, #19, and #20. I will bring my yellow apartment building for spaces #13 and #14 and I have a small office building which will cover #19 and #20. Thank you!
@timf, I added your name to those 4 spaces on the layout.
@schu54321, I just noticed that you marked one of those spaces for your wind turbine, so I removed one of the double straights in the Rail Yard and recreated space #16 for your turbine.
@rcgrier3406 move me wherever, i aint picky
