Well I always love a good train layout. Love the bridge and the kid that says:" I like this very much"!

On the whole you should use more nature parts and stuff because it seems a bit empty on the whole

Add on sets 7339,7440 and 7441 are perfect for in train curves. I'll show pictures of mine this weekend!

I used some of the DS landscape parts and there is more to see of the farm etc;  I'll be posting still photos of these shortly.  The empty spaces are partly the due to the shortage of time for setting up (about 12 hours) and the difficulty of reaching parts of the display area.

Excellent work on this project! The reaction of the children is priceless! :)9
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

I thought time was a reason here! I always wonder how much time people like michael and rapunzel need to set up their displays, surely they must train in advance!

I have to add that Highlandcattle may have failed to appreciate the effort required to pull this display together.  Because the hall is used on the Thursday all the work, including laying the boards and getting the correct height differential had to be done on the Friday.  Gordon was in at around noon if I recall correctly and we had to get track laid and sets laid out.  As others of us were busy with our own sets Gordon was on his own with this for a lot of the time.

Gordon, Elaine and Damo had all packed their cars with everything they could.  I had some system x buildings that could have been added to the towns on either side but I am not convinced they were needed.  Last year we set out to pack the City Life display with buildings and this year there were some comments during planning about giving a bit of space.  I think this worked. 

We talked about adding to the fields.  It may have been possible to add some livestock but this was not a big deal.
We could have put more in (given more time) but was it really necessary?  I don't think so.
