This will be NALUG's 5th year displaying at the show and it is our biggest yet.
The display is 40' by 25' and the theme for this year is bridges. One for
each side of the display.

The longest is a minifig scale model of the High Level bridge in Edmonton.
The bridge is a double deck Truss Bridge and the model is 25'+ in length.

Also on the layout is a 15'+ suspension bridge, also with a vehicle deck and it
sits in place over an ocean of blue LEGO that is 20,000+ and a operating
lighthouse.

The third bridge, or bridges, is a pair of trestle bridges with a dam in the
background with sculpted valley and waterfall.

The final bridge is a working bascule bridge with automated lift and train power
control via an RCX.

In between the bridges there will be a grain loading terminal, rotary dumper,
train station, high rises, numerous town buildings and an industrial park.

Come check it out.
