I can't get enough of this bridge. I heard it was a HUGE hit at the Milwaukee show. Green signal? The signals are set up so that the signal goes from green to red only when the lift bridge is raised for "boat" traffic.

The exhibit's main attraction is a large, G-gauge train set complete with a first-class passenger train and a freight train that loop past each other on separate tracks. The trains speed past ten replicas of some of San Francisco's most famous places including the Conservatory of Flowers itself, the Japanese Tea Garden, the Golden Gate Bridge, Mission Dolores, Chinatown's dragon gate, the Transamerica Pyramid building, the Ferry Building, Coit Tower, Ghirardelli Square and the Bently Reserve (formerly the Federal Reserve Building). Surrounding these landmarks is a magical landscape of miniature gardens and parks created with living plants including dwarf conifers, tiny orchids and more.

The Monashee Pacific was a proposed railway in the 1950's that was never built. The Edmonton Model Railway Association, located at Fort Edmonton Park, has created a world where this railway exists. The level of detail is incredible, from the towns, the trains and the people, no minute detail has been omitted. There is even someone taking a crap in the woods with a bear approaching him.
I could have spent days photographing this incredible layout. I have only included the highlights.
This is the setup plan for the February operating session.

Japan's biggest railway diorama which was really impressive. I also appreciate that model railroading in Japan is focused on the present and not the past, unlike back home in the States.
