The National Capital Trackers will NOT be displaying a layout at York this spring. We were there this past October, perhaps that information on ED TCA's website has not been updated.  While we would welcome the opportunity to be invited back by Eastern Division, it is very unlikely we would ever set up at back to back Yorks.

Thanks for the kind words. As much as we enjoy displaying at York there is no way we would ever do it every meet. Our last endeavor took 1 1/2 years of planning, 9 months of building new corners and specialty modules, and 22 hours to set up. Not something we want to do on a regular basis. I'm sure we will be back ,

I for one loved your display, it was the most impressive modular display I've ever seen, some amazing work!  I'm sure it took a lot of effort to get all that working, but I will look forward to you coming back!

NCT has the most impressive modular display I've seen.  I especially remember a couple of years ago (?) when it was so large that it included some grades where the tracks ran over/under each other.  As a participant in a club with a much smaller portable layout, I fully appreciate the challenges of time, logistics, and cost that are involved, and I'm grateful for your efforts.  Can't wait for you to come back to York.
