Just saw this... ooops
I like the idea of something a little more complicated, I think that we have a lot of resources now between us, that we could pull off something fun.
I personally like the idea of a large main loop with many smaller branch line loops for lots of activity. That would also allow for some kind of regions / zones or something like that.

Perhaps we should consider what kinds of things we want to do with the layout next year.The 2019 space was horrible so we should not use that as a guide.Oval, loop-around-the-perimeter kind of layouts are easy to fit into any rectangular space.If we want to do a long-narrow layout, that will require a different kind of space.Same with L-shaped or other more complicated layout.

Though we don't have to have one main loop that goes around the whole perimeter. A big rectangle, or any odd space, could be broken into at least two loops. If we have a big layout, a whole-perimeter loop looks empty a lot of the time. Having said that, if there are multiple loops, at least one should be long enough to handle big, long trains without looking silly. We accomplished that at Killeen.

I agree steve, there could be multiple dual line loops, that if close together, could have the outer line connected so at any point a really large train is run it cold run on the outer loop of the smaller loops while other trains are running on the inner loops of others, does that make sense? it does in my brain anyway. I have attached a very crude picture that shows what I am talking about, this image is no way an idea for the layout, just the connecting of the loops.

I will certainly have a kitbashed large Police Station and several flashing-light cars, just to keep those miscreant Lego crooks in line. All the little sub-buildings from the Police Station set will be built out into their own structures.

I don't expect to have much in terms of new layout items.
I would like to build a new train station, but I haven't started yet.
We can revisit the idea of a collaborative drop section.
We have boxes of green, tan, and white club brick, which gives us options of forest/temperate, desert/western, and snow/Christmas scenes.
On the other hand, we could plan a longer term project to apply to project support in 2022 for Brick Rodeo 2023, and this year work on something else -
like a concerted effort to fully light the layout, maybe?

And by then I will have the new modular hotel, if we want to display a new set. I’ll build it more or less to instructions first before I think about modifying or enlarging it. From the images, it looks like it might be fine as is. Especially with lighting.
I’m of two minds about taking the Trans-Blue Tower to our Texas shows this year. On the one hand, it’s showy. On the other hand, everyone has seen it now except at Brickworld.

We discourage knock-off products. A couple pieces here and there we might let slide, but if it's very obvious a MOC is made from knock-off parts, we would not allow that.
We also draw a distinction between knock-off parts (things like Lepin, Mega) and third-party parts (things like Brick Tracks, Brickarms, etc.).
Your trains will be ok to run.
The track-based structures don't seem to fit with our track standards though.
Here is a sample track baseplate. The baseplate edges must line up, and the tracks must line up (including height).
I think the platform can be modified to work. I can't guarantee we'll have a place for the bridge though.

Hi Travis,
I agree with Ed,
- Fake lego = Taboo
- Track must be ballasted and positioned in the correct place right on a baseplate.
I know it seems like a lot of rules but hopefully you will see in time that it ensures we have a cohesive looking display.
Also please don't hesitate to ask any of us any advice or questions you might have if it helps when building anything to make sure it will connect well with existing track ETC. This is not control on your creativity, just dimensions and so on to make it all work together well.

Oh yeah I’m working on most of that the bridge was mainly if we need it, getting a new baseplate to fix the track, but I thought I ballasted it or did I do it wrong?

Were you able to look at the attachment Ed sent? The instructions show the placement of the track on a 32x32, this is important so it lines up with other peoples tracks. The ballasting is some nice ballasting you have done but to make it cohesive with other tracks that will be at the show it would want to look like the ballasting and ties in the instructions.

Let’s make the clear distinction between fake LEGO (copies of LEGO-produced parts / sets) and third-party (things that LEGO doesn’t make — like wide radius track, Brickarms, custom printed, etc.). Just being pedantic.

Hey everyone, what would be a good contribution for brick rodeo from my part? A small building (i was thinking of an arcade with LED lights), tracks? Or a goofy cameo with like Coyote and road runner. Also would like to mention its inspiring to see all of your builds and to pick up building ideas and techniques from yall. Now that I don't have the stress (yet) for prepping for a show as a vendor I have some time to work on a project.
Its confirmed I will be at brick rodeo and I will bring my little buildings Steve. No surprises!
Thank you

Hi Chant!
Small buildings are good. Things with lights are even better. We always love to have new MOCs in our layout.
For planning purposes, I'll just need to know some basics about how your building is going to look - basic dimensions, if it should be a middle or corner building.
Funny vignettes are welcome too. If it can just be placed on the layout (not attached to its own baseplate) then we don't necessarily need to know ahead of time, but if you tell us we could include it on the Seek and Find.
Looking forward to seeing what you build.

Hi Everyone,
New person here. I had a chance to meet Ed, Steve and some of the other members at the New Braunfels show. Recently moved to San Antonio from the Virginia Beach area where I was the Ambassador/Event Coordinator for Hampton Roads LUG (HARDLUG).
I spoke to Ed about possibly contributing to the TBRR Brick Rodeo display. I have two train stations based on historic Virginia stations - Montpilier and Suffolk Seaboard. Both are 2 x 1.5 baseplates and MILS (pics included). I also have four 0.5 x 1 row houses (all middle and MILS). If there is a need for more town modulars I do have a few more 1x1 corner and middle (also MILS) that just need to be repaired after the cross country move.
Looking forward to contributing as much or as little as y'all need.
Robert

We are always looking for more people and more things for our layouts. We can use one or both stations, and the modulars if you have time to repair them. Corner buildings are especially useful.
We will begin more detailed layout planning once we are given an exact space.

Its 56x32 around 20 bricks in heights. Has the front and right side exposed to the streets. Its a corner building. And the other two side are modular and smooth so it can join up to other buildings.

Can you put it on a couple baseplates? We generally build our towns on baseplate modules, so multiples of 16 (e.g. 16x32 or 32x32, or in your case probably 64x32).
Maybe have tiled sidewalk area 8 studs wide to fill out the 56 stud side to a full 64, and then just line the edges and have a few underneath the building to support the floor?
I'll try to have it up close to the outer edge of the table, but it will have the main line track in front of it.

Steve Jackson

to ckcollection2019, Edward, Derik Melton, Gareth Ellis, Texas Brick Railroad
My two cents worth: a physical button, because that does not require keeping track of a controller.
I have two buildings that have lighting via controller, and two that have switches, and the switched ones are WAY more convenient.
