G’day everyone!
Last weekend, the Sydney LEGO Train Club (SLTC) had a very successful showing at
the 2007 Annual Australian Model Railway Association (NSW) Exhibition.
For those interested, I have just
posted pictures
(high-res and low-res) plus videos from this show to my BrickShelf folder. You
can begin viewing the photos from this URL:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=277654
Or you can view the individual days using these links:
• Friday (Setup): High-Res or Low-Res
• Sunday (Day 2): High-Res or Low-Res
also Videos
•
Monday (Day 3): High-Res or Low-Res
also Videos
If you view the videos, you might notice that we were running multiple trains on
the same track. This was achieved by running one 9v train, and (up to) two
infra-red RC trains on the same track. Because we had two seperate track loops,
and there are three channels available on the RC train system, up to five trains
could be run on our layout at any one time. We were also able to demonstrate
that an RC train with fresh batteries and two motor bogies was capable of
hauling a train of up to 20+ carriages around our layout.
I am also very pleased to report that our layout was awarded the Larmour Family
“Wombat Award” for 1st place in the Children’s Choice category, and equal
2nd place overall in the People’s Choice Award. :D
I would like to publicly thank all those who helped out with the layout - it was
great to see the positive reaction from the model railroading community, and the
entire public in general. :)
Cheers!
J.P. Manalo
