Outstanding, Mike! Congratulations.
I've only been to Edmonton once, several years ago, but your buildings and the
High Level Bridge were easily recognized and right on.
That spiral tunnel, the hopper tipper, on and on - all are amazing! You guys
have really put a lot of work into your layout, and it shows.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the praise. This year was our biggest display ever although I think
we've reached our maximum size. This years dislay took about 15 hours to set up
with as many as 10 people working on it (not all at once). Thats a lot of man
hours.
Mike
