O scale Mexican waterfront diorama

Here's some shots of the layout & extension at the train & hobby show last weekend.
Was a huge success, and although mine was the smallest display there, a lot of folks said it was their favourite. Not just because of all the details, but the three trains running on three levels is not something they have seen before.
Locos ran all day without a break.  Not sure if they are supposed too, but no problems to report.
I do want to build another couple of small locos so I can change them around sometimes. Probably use some OO donor.

Was a great show.  Probably the biggest train exhibition of the year.
Over 36 layouts on display. Mine was the smallest individual display at 6' x 2'.  Plus some dioramas.

This one also incorporates some other hobbies too. RC:- tanks, ships and cars outside.
Last year they also had drone racing.
And upstairs they have some quirky hobbies, mainly collectables. Old retro 1980's computer games, ham radios, old cameras, Lego, etc.

Here's a Youtube video someone did.  Very nice.  My layout starts at 33:40 mark

I'll post some pics over on the Layout forum for the rest.  I actually was too busy to get many photos.
