MJ Hobbyfair 2018, Stockholm



The layout made it possible to both run trains from the yard to the turn around loop and back again or continue to Golden Valley Yard and switch cars at the industries along the line. The industrial area of Modesto proposed another challenge for anybody eager to switch cars.

The module Springfield has been modernized and has also been given a new name. It is now called Fresno.
