WamaLTC just completed two weekends in a row of shows.

Febuary 4 and 5 can be found here:

There are differences between the two layout because different people
participated in the shows (and we never do the same layout twice).

Both layouts had a working bascule bridge to allow us to get into the layout
without crawling on the floor.  The Timonium show was at the Maryland State Fair
Grounds in the "Cow Palace" and, well, the floor was not real clean - but the
flies were gone!  We did a show there in October and that inspired me to build
the bridge.

The bridge used a 9-volt technic motor to open and close.  The motor was
connected to a train controler.  The white counter weight is solid Lego - mostly
1x1 bricks.
