I know we are just getting the Fall Trolley stuff together right now but wanted to get a jump on preparing for the Winter Trolley as well, specifically because I have a certain setup I will need some help with.

In case you didn’t see, one of the October releases was a Gingerbread AT-AT and I plan on getting 2 of them. I already have the big fig Santa and what I would like to put together is a Star Wars themed Santa Sleigh as part of the larger display. I’ll turn the big fig Santa into a Darth Vader Santa and his sleigh will be the UCS Landspeeder.

So since I will have 2 gingerbread AT-ATs, I would like to have other LUG members bring theirs if they have them/are able to bring them and were planning on getting one (don’t buy one just for this unless you want to). So we would need 6 or 7 more (if we want to have a Rudolph or not) and I’ll get some string lights as well to string them all together.

So if anyone can or would bring 1 for that part of the display, please let me know in this thread by tagging me. Also, use this for the general Winter Trolley display stuff.

I have 2. I can trade you for the Hoth bits if you’re done with em.

[Jonathan Wagner]

@tcsbgdady Hoth will be showing at TUBS in November and then we can trade them to each other if that works for you.

Thanks so much for letting us use them all this time, they really have helped fill out the Empire.

Cool.

Subbed. I hope to have a little more time to help out than I did last year.

[Laura]

I told Johnathan he could take point on this as I have a lot on my plate at the moment. I am happy to contribute and help as much as I can. I’m willing to set up the Christmas tree farm as usual.

[Jonathan Wagner]

@laura so we know in advance, what are the expected dates for Winter Trolley?

[Laura]

So setup will be on November 22nd and 23rd with the event running through Thurs, Fri, Saturday and Sunday through the 21st of December.

[Neil Tannyan]

Ill bring a usual group of modulars and some winter village type sets… should be good for setup

[Adam]

I have one ginger at at I already built can be lent to the cause.

[Jonathan Wagner]

Yep and I have that first AT-AT lol

[Will McDine]

Subbed. I have a ginger bread AT-AT on back order. If it comes in time It can be used for the display. I don’t have much Christmas I can contribute otherwise, but I am sure I can come up with something.

[Josh]

Jonny, want to build out the events/shifts?

[Jonathan Wagner]

Yeah I’ll get there in the next day or so.

how about times?

[Adam]

Is it just me or are these events 2-3 deep anymore. First stop Friday, BAM sat, trolley sat and Sunday and sure I’m forgetting something. Think we are all still going to be recovering from
Tubs as well. We need some unpaid college interns to help. They can write a paper on the unground Lego world. lol.

[Pete]

I can bring modulars

[Gabe Vistica]

We unloaded from TUBS this morning. Everything is more or less right where it was after Fall Trolley, except that the tables are in front and the MILS crates are behind so you can set up without unpacking the whole room first.

Shifts are up! @laura please check that I didn’t make some huge goof, used the Fall Trolley times as a template.

Currently, I have 3 Gingerbread AT-ATs and should be getting 2 more on Tuesday. So that’s 5 total, if we could get 4 more donated, we could have the full sleigh! Please let me know!

[Will McDine]

Any idea on overall needs for this? I am trying to decide what to contribute.

[Tim]

I’m going to bring the Fayette County Courthouse. It is 2 baseplates square.

[Jonathan Wagner]

@willmcdine bring anything at all and everything! Winter Trolley is like Fall, just whatever works and we make a display and Laura’s stuff fills in!

[Jonathan Wagner]

So only seeing myself and Tim for setup…is everyone too pooped from last weekend?

[Laura]

I need to learn to read >.<

[Josh]

I’m out of town. I can send a email blast to everyone if you want that.

As an aside, and possible motivator, I’m going to start a separate thread ahead of Q4 on an idea I have to have paid events be able to buy a set or sets and have people who staff events get a raffle credit. Should help with the sustainability of sets if Lego takes that away. I’m thinking to start that with this event.
