The TCLTC exhibited at a train show in LaCrosse,
Wisconsin last weekend where we debutted our newest modules which featured an
homage to the cult classic Caddyshack.
I did most of the landscaping, while Ross did the heavy lifting, creating a
dancing gopher to the tune of Kenny Loggins “I’m Alright”. The sound card was
cannibalized from a dancing stuffed toy, and Ross hooked it up to a button
switch and animated the “gopher” himself-- pics
HERE
The new modules form a par 3 hole, 115 scale yards long (under construction
HERE). Ross also
created a pond to guard the front of the green that is filled with typical golf
course pond things-- sharks, mantas, sunken ship, etc. That will be the next
area of animation.
More details later when time permits.

| (...) Wow! Very cool & fun! The landscaping looks great! And, great job Ross, on the sound card and getting it all to work. Great idea and great presentation!
