Feeling a little down that there are no in person LEGO® Fan Events this year? Do you miss doing train stuff with fellow hobbyists? Us too. But while we wait for the world to return to a more normal state where we can all attend shows safely again, we can gather together with friends at the Brickworld Virtual Con this October 30th, and 31st.

October Brickworld Virtual Con

LEGO Train Community Roundtable

There will be many activities going on over the two day schedule which you can find here, and we encourage you to take part in as many as you can. But we know you want to here about what train things thee will be. Fortunately there will be two sessions devoted entirely to LEGO trains. The first of which is the LEGO Train Community Roundtable scheduled for 11am central time, 12pm eastern on October 31st.

The Train Community Roundtable is a tradition for Brickworld. It’s a typically laid back session where train builders gather to discuss new products, hobby news, techniques, and many other LEGO train related topics. This time we hope to steer discussions toward trackside scenery and landscaping two tie in with our OcTRAINber contest on BMR. We’ll also devote some time a train builders to show and tell. If you have a model or project you’ve been working on, join in and show it off. BMR will be there with our own Cale Leiphart as host with the help of several other LEGO train fans.

L-Gauge Modular Standard Discussion

At 1pm Central/2pm Eastern October 31st we will have an hour long session devoted to the L-Gauge Modular Standard. For those new to the LGMS we’ll have an introduction to the standard with the what why and how. We also hope to discuss expansion of some of the standard’s definitions, such as overhead track clearances, new module types, etc. And lastly we would like to touch on future shows and events where LGMS style layouts are planned.

So join us on October 31st and let’s talk trains.
