    ZoCal was at the GTE show last weekend. We had the largest space for any layout group. 40' x 40'. We had three main layouts, several byoz (bring your own Z) and a diorama on display. The BFY (Big Freight Yard) was there with 12 Z-bend modules.

    That yard is impressive, as is the river area on Henri's layout.

    Those are really nice looking modules. It would be really nice if some of them could make it to Cleveland, Ohio for the NTS this year.

    That is a fantastic yard! Love the look of the facility, too -- not too crowded. We're typically a bit more jam packed for the GTE shows up here in NorCal.

    Very nice David. I see a lot of new modules that I haven't seen before, and all great workmanship.

    Speaking of photos, I hadn't visited the ZoCal site in some time and when I did this afternoon, I was very impressed with the way ZoCal displays pictures of events and listed the number of photos along with a cover photo to introduce each event. I think ZoCal has their act together just about as good as you can get it.
