Hi everybody,

Here are some photographs from my club's stand in an exhibition in Seraing (Liège) this week-End.

We'll start with some pictures of a club member's layout :

First, a tunnel portal. This is a reproduction of a real tunnel portal located in Chaudfontaine, on the line from Liège to Cologne.

This is a scene from the village, with the detailed and lighted pub (the name, G + Soif, gives the phonetic expression "J'ai plus soif", translated in "I'm not thirsty anymore"... )

Ah... Here is one of my "weathering jobs" on my friend's layout, an abandoned and rotting old steam locomotive... As he really loves Alsace, he even went to put a Stork nest on it... )

Another "Gag" on his layout is those skiers... Without snow ! Yep, the global warming did it again !!!

Another of my "works". This signal box (original located in Quiévrechain, France) has been scratchbuilt with detailed interior and lightning.

Ha... Jean-Claude and his puns... He went to put a submarine (check for the periscope) and even some spies (the divers) in the pond... But how dit they made it there, would you ask ? Well... simply by groundwater... )

And we finish with those two "global" views of the layout (with functional superdetailed Sommerfeld catenary). He's about 10 meters long for 3 meters wide.

Then, some of my work... First, one of my freight trains (with my old Jouef 030 TU steamer from the French "Etat" railway company.

Finally, the result of my simple painting and weathering job on a Wills kit (a goods shed)... This depicts one that is in dire need of repair and repaint...

And a details of some of the planks and one of the two doors... This "Chipping Medium" from Vallejo really gives a wonderfull result.

Well, that's all for this time. More to come later.
