I saw those this morning on Brickshelf John. I’m really looking forward to
seeing the layout at the NRMA convention in the flesh (or ABS). I want to see
that fountain working as well.
Good stuff,

Welllll, unfortunately, we aren’t bringing that layout to Cincy. I would have
to rent a trailer and it would be a logistical nightmare. I have pretty much
decided that that layout will be more of the permanent display type of deal.
We are bringing another layout that was originally designed to augment that
layout. We called it our
“Thomas section”,
because it has a small branch line on which we run Thomas the Tank Engine
trains. You can’t see the Thomas branch line in that link, but you can see the
2 main lines. The branch line is on <ahem> “plywood level” and can only run
6-7 wides (shhh, don’t tell Lar!)
Funny you should mention the fountain. We had decided to adapt one of the
modules we are bringing to Cincy to utilize the fountain, because Ross actually
designed it to be able to be dropped into any locale. Smart kid;-)
Thanks for the compliments,
JOHN
