NALUG's Ongoing Display in Londonderry Mall
Starting in 2009 NALUG had the use of a store on the main floor of Londonderry Mall in Edmonton, Alberta. The space was needed for Christmas stuff, so we had to leave in early November, but we hope to be back after Christmas. We had the store open Saturday afternoons, and also on the afternoons of holiday Mondays. We used the space to display lots of kits and custom models that various group members have assembled. We also used it for train layouts, including those being prepared for our annual showing at the Great Edmonton Train Show.
The pictures and movies shown here are from Saturday, September 5, 2009 - which was a couple of weeks before the 2009 GETS show. Stuff was coming together, but there was still work to do. Sorry about some of the pictures being a bit blurry - I was in a hurry.
Exterior View
Here is what you saw as you approached the store. To the left is one end of Laz's winter scene, which has been used for a few displays. He was awaiting his new FireHall set to add to the town portion. Al's new castle can be seen on top of the mountain. To the right you see Andrew's huge Enbridge building, behind the glass.
