Not a bad turnout for this year's AMRE.

Saturday was quite busy (long line up to the road at opening time), Sunday and Monday weren't to shabby either.

BUT, there are less and less layouts each year. Sad From about ten years ago when they also used the upstairs lounge area of the venue, we are now down to just using the downstairs area, and around us, there was ample room for more layouts.

Close to an even 50 - 50 spread of layouts and trade.

So let's start off with our club.

New modular layout (to be described and shown on another posting when I have analysed and picked the right photos - hopefully next week), now only 6m x 5m.

First photos and then a few videosThumpUp ThumpUp ThumpUp

The layout is not completed, even though I spent 7 days a week (well nearly on some occasions) on it for the past three months, I just couldn't get it to a finished stage, so I decided to just add a station building to the the station area.

One of our club members is also a member of this group and had this O gauge Märklin loco and carriages running.

I believe they are from the 30's as well as the baggage car being from the 50's, but don't quote me on itBigGrin
