Carrying on from yesterdays post, where Mrs. woody was enjoying her day out (!!!!), there a few more layouts of the many that were on display worth highlighting.
Zeedijk was a Dutch layout and whilst being simple in that it was just two mainlines with no sidings and flat scenery, what else for Holland, it had a certain charm with longish trains running as you would see them in real life.
Of course there had to be a windmill!
Interestingly, off stage, the return curves to the rear fiddle yard were just the width of the track which saved weight and materials - nice!
The fiddle yard itself was a large one to keep a constant parade of trains.
Crossing the Atlantic, in layout terms anyway, Kamiack Falls was the opposite in that this was very much a switching layout where everything was done slowly but with realism.
Finally Loch Dour was another Scottish themed layout but unlike Loch Syd that I highlighted yesterday, was a large layout. Being large did not mean cramming it with track, just a single line with a passing point at the atation and a few sidings just like the real thing in the Scottish highlands.
I was particularly taken by this snow plough train with a pair of class 20s.
It was a great day and there were a few purchases that no doubt will feature here soon!
