Carl just had a meeting and here is the latest: Stefanie just visited Carl's layout and she picked out some new buildings to bring in for this years layout. The Mall loves Carl's buildings and wanted to see some of the other ones that he has. She was delighted and had a great time going over ideas and possibilities with Carl. This year we will be able to bring in the track a little earlier and store it right under the stage area behind the black covering with goes around it. That will make it very convenient for us on Setup Day which has been changed to Tuesday November 5th.
The Mall has decided on a "green grass" type rug for covering the deck and risers. They plan to install that on Monday the day before we come in to put down the track. That way we can lay our track right over the rug and we still plan to put our ballast on top of the green covering. The Mall plans to put the "snow blanket" only on the very top level where their tree will be the center decoration similar to last year.
Opening Day will be moved to Monday November 11th. I have made these changes on the Operator Schedule which is found by clicking on the link at the top of the Blog. A copy is shown below. We will be located and featured once again in Center Court in the same area which we were in last year. The layout will be larger and with more levels than we have ever had before! Plus this year we are adding an expanded Thomas and Percy and a real waterfall and pond and more trains and trolleys.
