On November 18th and 19th, NELUG put on a wonderful
display at The Great Train Expo in Wilmington, MA.
Our layout continues to grow, and this display was no exception. We filled a
13’ x 26’ layout with everything from water to carnival rides. Our city
section, full of skyscrapers and traffic, was a bit smaller than usual. This,
however, allowed us to expand our carnival section, allowing more space between
the many rides that were displayed. We were also able to expand our train yard,
giving us more room to display the trains members have been creating, including
several New England road names.
Being close to Thanksgiving, we included a Thanksgiving Day parade which seemed
to be enjoyed by the crowd. Not far away was a new river section, which made
it’s debut at our last show earlier this summer. The addition of a Duplo shark
was a big hit.
On the opposite side of the river, our town/residential area was well laid out,
allowing minifig residents plenty of room for backyard picnics and romping on
the playground.
One new addition to the layout was a small subway module. Without much more
room to go up with the skyscrapers, we needed to start going down to the
underground. The addition of the subway brought our total number of running
train loops to five, along with a monorail running between the city and the
carnival.
Photos of the event can be found at the
NELUG website.
