Hello,

During the French Comic Con / JapanExpo event at Paris this last week-end, we (FreeLUG members) presented a Steampunk layout, with suspended floating rocks.

That was the first part of the challenge.



The second part was to add a train track across the rocks, with a running train (with PFS and IR-controlled)

And the result :

A metallic structure has been specially made for this layout, and the floating rocks and the ships were suspended with fishing lines. Five members participated to this collaborative layout.

We had also a huge reproduction of Hogwarts Castle (only a part of the MOC was presented), two StarWars layouts (battle on Naboo and Hoth), a stopmotion demo and some Technic creations.

(...) Cool! (...) And very cool! One thing I thought of while watching the video: Would it look more "realistic" if you had built some kind of bridge under the tracks all the way around the loop? (...) Lots of great stuff! Play well, Jacob (13 years ago, 7-Jul-11, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)

(...) That's beautiful! I really appreciate the structural/engineering dynamic in making everything appear to float! That's fantastic! Very nicely done! Dave K (13 years ago, 7-Jul-11, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains, FTX)
