As a followup to the announcment, here are some photos from the setup day yesterday.

Classic Castle fans should note the pretty extensive medieval village in one corner of the display (separated from the rest of the layout by a “reality barrier” of large flatleafed trees) which we think may be the largest collection of CCC buildings (17 buildings) on a layout yet. It features work by Jason Spears, Peter Guenther, Dan Siskind (Tavern and Blacksmith Shop) and even one building by yours truly (Barber Shop). Here’s a teaser shot



Others will no doubt have images as well and there will no doubt be a full report but consider this a sneak peek.

Here’s the main (post moderation) folder link

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=63885

The folder may not be moderated yet but the images are named Dscn1260.jpg through Dscn1313.jpg (with a lot of deletions for blurriness, and some of the ones that remained are still somewhat blurry too, sorry about that! I forgot my tripod)

Here are a few of my faves:

Our tree

Only PART of CCCtown

Reality Barrier

City, Large Cat in the Hat in background

Trevor Koleda, Engineer Extraordinaire (he’s the only one that fits comfortably!)

Star Power! Our Straw Boss couldn’t be there for setup, but Jason stepped in and got it all going! Here he’s basking in the glow of a completed layout.

If you’re in the area please do consider coming by and supporting this worthwhile charity. There’s LOTS to see including some absolutely HUGE trees, a Teddy bear repair shop, dozens of wreaths and lots of prizes and fun.

Oh, and a little wreath with LGB trains embedded in it, bet THAT wreath designer was thinking they were “all that”... till they found themselves next to US! :-)
