Layouts at York

The Queen City Hi-Railers from Cincinnati (actually Hamilton) Ohio were in the Black Hall.

Thanks Bob for the update. 

A few layout photos...

Houston Tinplate Operators Society was the group in the Orange Hall.

You got really tall in your last photo

In chatting with the Flower City Modular club, it was amazing to learn that set up was ONLY 25% of the clubs modules!!!

Nice. Is the Atlas layout anything to write home about? Any photos of the Atlas one?

Really nice postwar-style layout - you don't see that very often.  Automated stop-and-go with trains in opposing directions pulling into a siding while the other pulls out.  Numerous accessories operating automatically and flawlessly.  

I know first-hand the challenges of transporting, setting up, and operating a modular layout, and their effort is appreciated.

I was really impressed by the Atlas layout...very large, very well done. Two loops, freight on one and a full train of the California Zephyr on the other. 

I thought the Flower City and Queen City modular clubs put out great layouts, as well as the Texas guys in the Orange hall. Kudos to them for all the effort, and the TCA ED for coordinating it all.

Seeing operating layouts is a great thing at York, it is a nice diversion from walking through aisle after aisle of tables with boxes.

Any pictures of the Atias layout? Were they running the long delayed CZ passenger cars on it?
