I think, from here on, modular layouts will be in the White Hall...unless the Black Hall can be filled with a HUGE layout like Flower City's.
I am a member of the Lower Susquehanna Modular Rail Roaders and I know we have been invited to display at York. I have no idea where we will be set up at right now.

The Flower City layout was awesome Wish they would do that one again
Hey Ben, maybe the NJ High-Railers can move their layout to York for the show. That wouldn't be much of a problem, would it? 
The only layouts I can remember from this past October were in the White hall.
I would like to bring ours some day........but we are going to have to wait 4-5 yers, when more of us are retired......
it's a big committment, and we need to have a large group unencumbered by the travel and time constraints.
I know that I would have a blast!

I don't think the hall is big enough for our layout. If we did try and started now we might have it finish by 2025.

Members don't go to York to see layouts. If you do, you will be very disappointed.
Been there once with the layout, (Fort Pitt HighRailers). More than enough for me.
Best wishes
FORT PITT highrailers did a great job on their modular
. Wife and I loved it. Hope to see more in the Black Hall.
Thank you, Laz57.

Some truth there, but a well-done layout is a nice break from rows of tables, and it's great to see big engines pulling long trains. National Capital Trackers had an amazing setup a couple of Yorks ago.

Until you've done a modular layout, you have no idea how much effort is involved. I've done it on a small scale, and always appreciate it when a group goes to the trouble to set up and operate.
Flower City or, FCTT Hi Railers, our new name, will be back in October. The final details are being worked out, but we're moving ahead with a 96 x 48 foot layout which will be in the White Hall. I'm looking at a demo this weekend for a computer lighting controller designed by one of our members son. I hope to have it installed and functioning on my 12' street running module by then. See you in October!

I am also a fan of Flower City. Not only is the layout top shelf, it has some top shelf members.
Did it once and never again. Too expensive to be there Wednesday to Saturday, miss most of the York show, and no stipend to cover a small portion of our expenses.
