THE OFFICIAL WEBPAGE
OF ROBERT D. WEST
GATS - November 2000
The Great American Train Show was held at the fairgrounds in Puyallup, Washington in November of 2000. I didn't take very many pictures at this show, but here are pictures of a few of the layouts and displays.

Pacific Northwest Lego Train Club
The
Pacific Northwest Lego Train Club had an impressive display, including
Lego models of famous buildings and a HUGE Lego suspension bridge. (Let
the neon green cables catch your eye)
A
closeup of some of the Lego models of famous buildings, including the
Space Needle, the Chrysler Building, the TransAmerica Pyramid, the
Empire State Building and the Sears Tower. (they aren't all to the same
scale). Also, look at the long Lego train crossing the suspension
bridge.
It
doesn't have much to do with trains, but I thought this Lego model of an
Imperial shuttle from Return of the Jedi was pretty cool.
4th Division, PNR, NMRA O-Gauge Modular
This
O27 Lionel train seems to be on the O-scale modular layout operated by
the 4th Division of the Pacific Northwest Region of the National Model
Railroad Association, though since this is the only picture I have, I'm
not sure.
