BrickFair is a gathering of Adult Fans of LEGO from around the country and it is coming to New England for the first time. Of course, NELUG will be there. We will have a train layout, but if you have seen one of our train layouts and wondered what other cool stuff can be done with LEGO, now is the time to find out. There will be creations great and small, silly and sublime. We will be attempting to set a new world record for longest LEGO Monorail track. Have you ever seen a Great Ball Contraption at work? You really should. You will be sorry if you miss it. Along with all the amazing creations, there will be vendors and games and prizes.

BrickFair takes place at the Expo Center of New Hampshire in Manchester NH on May 11 and 12. Public hours are 11:00 to 4:00 both days.

Ever get the feeling that you're being watched? Ever have the sense that something isn't quite right? Ever wonder why your friends keep disappearing one at a time? There could be something a little off in our fair town. Come on by to see what it may be.

We'll be displaying at Greenberg's Train & Toy Show on March 23rd and 24th from 10:00am to 4:00pm each day. For more information, including admission fees, please visit http://www.greenbergshows.com/index.html.

We hope to see you there!

We're heading back to the Wenham Museum on February 16th & 17th! We've been fortunate to set new visitor records each consecutive year we have done this show and we hope this year will be no different.

Our 17' x 17' display will feature a down town, bridges, a monorail, work carnival and of course, plenty of trains.

We'd love to see you there!

For more information including show times and admission fees, please visit Wenham Museum's website.

This Sat. and Sun. 26-27 January NELUG will display one of it's signature train/city layouts at the Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby Show at The Big E in Springfield, MA. Details about the show can be found on the Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby Show  website, including show times, admission and parking info.  

Although it's going to be chilly (OK, it's going to be downright freezing all weekend!), come on out and see New England's biggest model train show and the novel layout designed by NELUG member Elroy.  We will be in the Mallary Complex, in the second half of the building along the main corridor.

See you this weekend!

NELUG and the AFOL community lost a great friend and amazingly talented builder this week with the passing of our own Mike Crowley. Two wonderful tributes on FBTB and The Brothers Brick have been posted that capture Mike's life and contributions to the AFOL community. We'd like to capture here photos of Mike that we have in our personal libraries and individual stories about Mike as we remember him - the good-natured, sometimes goofy individual who enriched our lives and inspired our building as a member of NELUG. Please follow the 'read more' link below to read stories about Mike that members of NELUG have written (more will be posted as they are gathered).
