There is a big G scale (LGB) display in the Landmark shopping center which draws a large crowd all day long: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/HKFall2011/XmasTrainsw.jpg.html> And in the walkway from the Landmark to the Prince Building there is a smaller but more intricate HO scale setup using Marklin equipment. It was harder to photograph because the macro setting on the GH2 defaults the aperture to wide open (f1.7) so depth of field is limited <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/HKFall2011/MarklinHOw.jpg.html> As some of you may recall I have been a model railroader at various stages and these layouts take me back to my youngest days when we always had an O gauge Lionel circle of track under the tree. I have just about sold off all my train collection in the last few years - earning enough to buy a couple of M9's (still not purchased!!) but the memories remain and they are good. C&C always welcome. Please look large. Happy Holidays Howard
