This was its first outing since being fitted with legs about twelve months ago. When I first built the layout in 2008, it fitted in the back of my Ford Territory without a problem. It wasn't so easy to get it into the Craptiva, but thankfully, once the new curtain rails were removed, it did go into the Outlander OK!
The layout was set up in the training room, but with most of the activity (food stalls, Ping-Pong challenge, aerobics etc) happening next door in the canteen, passing trade was slow. No problem - we just unplugged the controllers, then four of us picked it up - with the trains & structures etc in situ - and carried it bodily into the canteen.
Thanks to Tom, Emily, Ahmed, Patrick, Jason & Lukas for their assistance with the set-up, move & supervision of operators, things went smoothly. Nothing went "in the dirt" or took a dive to the floor. The only challenge now is to work out how to get it back out of the car, since the family is away & I'm batching!
Anyway, here's a few images from the day.
Negotiating a path around the food stalls / eating area,
past the Ping-Pong,
and into position for operation.
