Brick Vegas on the Gold Coast

The Brisbane Lego Train Group will have their next display at the Miniature Train Club-Gold Coast model train show at Ashmore on the 23-24 July.

We will have a similar display to the previous two shows this year but we are all making an effort to make this the best as we should have a record crowd to view the display.

BLTG should also set a record for the most number of members attending a show. By all indications, we are hoping that 18 members will display or assist during the weekend.

Excellent! Make sure you take stacks of photos then, and chuck them on Flickr.

I am sure it will be an awesome display as usual. Depending on how my shoulder operation recovery goes I might be able to pop down. Tara

We will be down there (it was a great excuse to stay down there for the weekend).

We have the basics of our part of the display set up at home, just working on some of the details.

When do you have the operation?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery and we'll see you at a train show in the future.

When I re-read my initial post on this topic, I realized that there could be some confusion with, "BLTG should also set a record for the most number of members attending a show."

I meant a record number of BLTG members at a show; not a world record.

I'm sure that other groups in Australia get dozens of members attending shows.

The Farm wil be making another appearance at the Gold Coast show. I'm about to set it up and give it a once over, maybe a few changes...

See you all there...

looking good for your section.

I wonder if you can automate the people on the seats to move their heads as a train goes by.

I have seen this done somewhere and it is a great effect.

Here is my garage what is the middle part of my shops its about done just details to go.

The slot car track will return for the Gold Coast show and will run around the modular buildings and in front of the hospital.

The slot cars have now been modified to be the characters from 'Cars 2'.

You can watch a race @
