G’day all,

The Sydney LEGO Train Club (SLTC) has recently presented it’s third layout at the 46th Annual Australian Model Railway Association (AMRA) Exhibition.

		Our 2008 layout was approximately 7.5m x 3.5m in size, and featured an airport, shipping port, town and two separate bridges that were each over three metres long.

The SLTC layout won first place in the “Lamour Family Wombat Award for the Children’s Most Popular Exhibit” category - the third-year in a row that we have won this award. This year, we had close competition from a G-scale layout, “Traintasia”.

Once moderated, images that I had taken of the layout during the show will be available from my Brickshelf folder:

Any comments are much appreciated. Hope you’re all well!

Cheers,

Great work SLTC! An impressive layout and congratulations on your win.

That blue tower is a work of art. Hope you all had fun.

Cheers,
