NALUG Layout for
Supertrain 2001

Model Train Show
Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Show Dates: Feb 17 - Feb 18, 2001
The custom LEGO creations in the NALUG layout were built
by NALUG members, James Powell, and David "Zonker" Harris.
All LEGO parts in this layout are privately owned.
The LEGO Company had generously donated about 30000 parts for
the children's play area, which was located adjacent to the
NALUG layout. Photography and page design by John Koob.
Empty Tables The tables when yours truly arrived.
A bit overwhelming.
Empty Tables More empty tables.
Setup NALUG people hard at work with the
frantic setup. It is about 5:00pm at this point and we
only have until 10:00pm.
Setup The NALUG sign is built out of
red, white and green basic bricks.
Award The second place ribbons won by NALUG.
The blue one is from GETS in 1999
and the white one is from Supertrain.
Award Our Supertrain award.
Center Center section of the layout with the elevator,
high speed line, and the highway. The
two right tracks belong to the large
loop and the two left tracks are part
of the smaller loop between the town
and the port.
Mainline The blue Via train approaches on the
high speed mainline, which intrigues a
curious onlooker. The town and elevator are
visible in the background.
