In 2015, MRC members were set the challenge of building a small layout for exhibition at our December open day. We are delighted to announce that Eddie Thompson’s entry “Manatee Bay” was judged the best by a panel from the NMRABR.

“Manatee Bay” is a fictitious H0 marine terminal (part of a larger layout) located on a river estuary on the Florida Panhandle operated by Seaboard Air Line Railroad.   Float (barge in English) and buildings are scratch built, the track Peco code 83 with Tortoise turnout motor all controlled by NCE ProCab DCC system. More details about the competition and the other layouts can be found here.
