I also have the tri colored heart, but don’t remember whose that was.

We had one at Dan’s two summers ago that was great, but I don’t think there has been another one since. I decided to post a list of things I had available in the meantime to see if anyone was interested in anything, and I could bring to the…Read more

Atom smasher and first commercial power plant- sound like something @carlsonf might be interested in.

Of course, I keep building the educational train models that helped that part of the STEM industry in keeping the lights on.…Read more

Jonah needs to interview someone who has direct experience of a national or local historic event and had their life directly impacted by it. Topics have ranged from local topics including the closure of West View Park, Hurricane Ivan flooding, and the decline of…Read more

It’s built in the LUG colors and may sport a special LUG banner on the bridge so like that LUG box car that my Big Boy hauls, every photo of the bridge should have the LUG logo in it. 🙂
It has two manual modes should anything happen to the…Read more

One suggestion I would have for when you display it would be to bring one or two of the LDD cut-away views for the Reactor Building and annotate what some of the components are. That would help non-nuclear people (like me!) understand what they’re looking at!!

It is no small feat making round shapes out of square pieces. A minifig scale Geiger counter would be a nice addition. 🙂

Have you seen the CMF called the Hazmat guy? I think @joshhall used a bunch of them in the Dig into Reading display.

E managed to get a Power functions motor running off the 9v train track that’s it’s installed on.

Definitely a fun project to get done, especially just using the parts available in the random bin.

Completed by @joshhall, @rcgrier3406 and myself. And thanks to @carlsonf for starting to sort that gia…Read more

I think I have a thousand. I sent you a PM via SteelCityLUG.

LDD is basically dead, but I heard you can import the .xlf files into stud.io

I’ve been aware for some time that I never replied to this one and I don’t wanna leave Nancy hanging @carlsonf, even though this thread is essentially done at this point.

Sadly, I got this message too late. Y…Read more

And the photo makes a better parts reference for working on the rebuild than the one in the back of the manual. (I also saw a circuit board at first glance)
