One of our club members took his Gauge 1 layout 'Uri' to Taupo, and a few extra members tagged along to help. The exhibition is not just for MRR (though there were plenty of those), there were other model related hobbies, and various arts and crafts. I managed to take some photos and videos during the weekend. I'll start with the videos. First up is a couple of videos of Gauge 1 trains - my Marklin 55585 Br58 and a Marklin G1 Crocodile Next is a small video of a Marklin M track layout of the sort we all would have had when we were kids. There were a few Tyco slotcar layouts at the show, so I knew Marco would love these This next video is of a N gauge layout - pity it ever only had one train running on it - I think it was owned by the same guy showing off the Tyco layout in videos 1, 2 and 4. The layout is for sale - anyone with a spare $2900 NZD? Scalectrix Slot Cars - The kids were able to pay $1 and have a go racing the cars. And lastly, a small video of some Hornby Tin Plate trains Edited by user 27 July 2013 09:15:21(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Your new BR58 loco runs very close to the edge of the layout, I would have been afraid that it fell over the edge Once again, thanks for sharing !! Marco
