Man with a hat Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Oh WOW. Thanks for showing. Nice to see all those stunning trains/buildings/landscapes etc in one huge layout. Quote
LegoSjaak Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Great stuff...where does it end... it is getting more beautifull each year!! Quote
scottwb2010 Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Great layout. I like how the both styles of bridges have been done, but I really like the Brewery. Quote
dr_spock Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Lovely layout. How long does it take your LUG to set up on location? Does it take longer every year? Quote
SavaTheAggie Posted November 4, 2016 Author Posted November 4, 2016 Thanks all. This is the work of 5 AFOLs. It took us about 6-7 hours to set up, all of us working. A typical, smaller setup will take 2-3 people about 4 hours. Teardown is much faster - we were packed up, put away, and loaded in vehicles in less than three hours - and that's pretty good for a layout this size. --Tony Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Beautiful layout! There are many excellent details and amazing sites ...I like the bridges with the river Incredible to see all those sleepers made with black tiles ...huge work! Quote
Q3671 Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 great track layout. I like the pumpjack's, typical Texas, when you cross the border you see them all over the place. Quote
