Well, M>ltc just completed our last show for 2005, and our last show with the
current layout. You can see some details of the layout from the
Pakenham show earlier in the year, this weekends layout was
basically the same, except for a slightly modified office building.
Some things worth highlighing:
| | Teunis’ Maersk Container cars
|
| | 
| | Teunis’ “El Capitan” train, based on the design by James Mathis
|
| | 
| | The updated office building, complete with dragon
|
As this was the last show for the layout, it will all be dismantled to build
next years layout, in fact a fair bit was dismantled last night. Our 2006 layout
will have 3 loops on 2 different levels, 2 bridges, and lots of other goodies,
so stay tuned! We hope do do 4-5 shows with the new layout next year.
Thanks to everyone that helped during the year!

Well I guess this layout started about a year ago, at the dinner table, at the
Morwell Model train show. Tea was finished and we were talking about a new
layout over a few beers.We had paper table cloths ,so I got a pen and started
drawing.Ideas were talked about, airports, mountains etc.
A month later Rosco did the first track draft, from what was talked about at
Morwell.Me and Rosco then got together and finalised plans for a second draft.
Including a Mountain side and City side,and road plates.
The 2005 layout was pulled apart. I got the wooden boards and built a wooden
frame for the mountain.Then anouncing the first club meeting for the 2006 layout
(late 2005).
We deside to build some retaining walls , to save on the use of green bricks.
The white retaining wall was built, looking a bit plain , we desided to put a
mural on it. Paul suggested , “FREE BONKTRON”. Me been me I desided on Mount
Freedom.
A few months passed ,and not much was getting built, so I asked for help.Paul
and Trav Gave me a hand by building the Egypt ruins. Rosco helped out by
building some around the waterfall ,rocks and tressel bridge. Thanks also to
Dave & Ben.I finished it ,1 am the friday morning before BrickVention setup.
City side . Kane built the pub. Rosco built the red department store and the
lower half of the next red building.Beth & Tim built the top of the red
skyscraper, the white skyscaper and the light house, with a bit of help from Me.
Aaron,Paul,Rosco and Me built the train station.Mattew and Me built the town
houses at the the front .Trav built the XXX Pirate club.
But there is still heaps more done ! All in good time !
Thanks, Teunis M>ltc Artistic Director.
PS, if there are more pictures that people have taken please post the on
brickshelf, as my photos were blurie.

I really like this folder, because it has an image of the TrackDraw plan.
That gives a really good basis for seeing how the parts fit together.
Even when someone takes an "overall" photo, I usually can't see what's
going on. It also helps show the process of planning and coordination
that went into the layout.
The folder also has this picture

which I just like for some reason. . .
