No,it's divided in 5 modules and everyone has his own module at home.
we designed it with Track Designer once we (5 guys,the 6 ones you met at
Zwolle less the tallest one) met at Carlo Ottolina's home and then divided
it in 5 modules.
We decided to assemble and show it to public twice (pre and post-summer
Legofests).
This,also to compare each other's areas (compatibility of architectonic
stiles,colors,etc....)
> - how often do you meet per year (per month?)
As Itlug members,about 5 times a year (the so called "legofests")
As layout builders,I never meet the others outside Legofests (because I live
too far away from them), but the Ferrari brothers live in the same town area
and Carlo Ottolina and Ezio Maino live in different towns,but separated by a
10 minutes distance,and,afaik they meet every wednesday to build together
their modules.

Italy is long and narrow. Too bad :-))
Well,most of us live in the middle/northern part,so LFs (legofests) are
always in the neighbourhoods of Modena and Bologna

It is (will be) usually presented at LFs .Its first appearance was in late
july (LF in Modena),but it was 10% completed,as you can see from pics.
It will be assembled again on OCT,6th (LF in Firenze/Florence) and we hope
to bring it to Zwolle.

Yes,I agree!!

....hmmmm...don't know if such a thing would be possible. We could talk
about it when we meet in Zwolle..

ISCC.....aaaaah,If I had time enough...it's the second one I miss!
