THANK YOU… FABULOUS FESTIVAL FANS !!!

What a wonderful day we all experienced at the
TW TrainWorx Fourth Annual Layout Festival!

All the Traingineers want to send out a special shout out of appreciation and gratitude to all of YOU
 that participated this past Saturday at our Layout Festival!

With YOUR help, we raised over the amount we did last year and that
is HUGE considering all the competing events we had going on during this year’s Festival!

Once again proving how wonderful all YOU TRAIN NUTS ARE… THANK YOU : )

The best way to share the fun is to stop typing and share photos from the Layout Festival… ENJOY!

Ode to NYC – TrainWorx Custom Layout

Collaboration between Chief Traingineer, Roger Farkash, and Jim B. of New Jersey led to a modification of the TrainWorx Hellgate 5′ x 7′ table into a 6′ x 10′ Hellgate base, Subway, and elevated railway featuring a jam packed NYC footprint! The three levels of trains can be seen going through tunnels and bridges, underneath the subway, and circling Manhattan’s; Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Grand Central Terminal, and midtown’s MetLife Building.

The Traingineers are loading this table in the truck right now for the journey this weekend to its new home in New Jersey. Before they started taking it apart for shipping I took some pictures to share with all my Trainiac friends : ) ENJOY!
