I appreciate the prize but it's not my aim. The best prize is  in exhibition the positive reaction of the public.

Now this layout, is an old project for me. I'm going to exhibit it in Europe this year. This week-end I will go in Luxembourg to show it. I have already sold this layout. I'm focused on my narrow gauge sugar cane railways in Egypt and on my US ho layout.

I have an article of 10 pages on my layout in the spanish magazine number 117 MAS TREN.

I'm member of the CFC ( A true 60 cm narrow gauge train with 4 miles of tracks). We exhibited during 2 days for the heritage days in the workshops. We have few visitors but we spent good times with friends.

Thanks Franck,  a lovely line. Had a few steam charter trains there.  Say hello to Didier when you next see him.
