Together with a LGB friend of mine we organized a RHB driving day at the warehouse of
the company I work at. (11- october 2008)

Looks like fun, Marc. You sure had a lot of pallets, and put them to good use.

Wow!! How long did that take to set up?! Were you guys running MTS for the different electric trains or was it electrically isolated blocks?

It was only for one day, because the trucks were loaded with the goods from the warehouse. They had to be indoors for the night.
We started build up at 7.00 in the morning. Ready with the buildup at around 10.30. It lastest untill 17.30. People came form all over
Holland so some had to drive home for 2 - 2,5 hours. Then we started to clean up,finished at 20.30.
 
I started planning for next year, then it will be for 2 days.
 
Alsmost no weathering, we love them the way they are and are afraid to paint them. Maybe in future.
 
The large layout was controlled digitaly with a intellibox from uhlenbrock together with a 15 A booster. One of the members
wrote a programm so we could all controle our trains on our laptop through a network.
