RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted April 17, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 17, 2012 I received the latest setup diagram and list of stands. I counted 21 vendors and 18 layouts/displays. only 2 demonstartions. Layouts from 2mm & N up to 7 1/4" gauge. (I think the operational layouts stop at gauge 1.) Missing scales are TT and HO.
