Hi,
Sorry for you, you could’nt see these nice layouts and I was very surprised to see so much American layouts in an european train show.
Whath was more amazing is the nearly general use of handlaid track, in all scale from HOn3, HO and Sn3 whith a few O gauge. Fremo was also on the rails whith a spectacular layout in US style.
A new wind seems to blow on the models trains in Europe whith more accurate layouts.
Some use Fastrack jig but most use full handlaid track; it’s a very rare feature on European made layout and I was very surprised about that.
The second very attractive of this show is the place where it’s organized; the Netherlands railway museum; so you walk between the real world and the small miniatur world.
Take a look at this site for some infos and if some of you are coming in 2011 in Europe I hardly recommand you to see this magnificient event. www.ontraxs.com
