As one of the Canadian Prairie LEGO Train Clubs (CPLTC), the Northern
Alberta LEGO Users Group (NALUG) regularly appears at local model railroad
events.  This year NALUG organized a 35-foot by 22-foot LEGO train display at
the Great Edmonton Train Show on Sept 18-19, 2004.

NALUG was one of twenty-one model train clubs at the Mayfield Inn Trade Center
in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.  CPLTC was awarded "Best in Show" thanks to the
hard work by all the members involved.

The new LEGO creations that appeared at this show included:

      21-foot reproduction of Edmonton's High Level Bridge
      20-foot model of the adjacent LRT bridge
      17-foot suspension bridge and a dam
       9-foot model of the Enbridge Tower
      28 square foot LEGO mountain with spiral tunnel
         mindstorms-controlled ship on a 20,000-brick ocean
         large grain elevator, train station, bank and donut shop

Details of the diplay can be found here:
