Ontraxs 2016 Utrecht The Netherlands Red Hook Bay

[Janbouli]

This year at Ontraxs I had the pleasure of meeting Mike and his lovely wife Jenny who had brought Red Hook Bay with them. One of the things that makes this hobby so great is the friendships you make , and Mike is one of them eventhough before March 11th I had never met him in person. Mike surprised me with a great gift, FSM Branchline Water Tower, very very kind of him.

I had seen many photo's of Red Hook , seeing it in real life is another thing , absolutely fantastic with all the craftsmen kits , and everywhere you look something going on. Red Hook Bay was one of 2 layouts at Ontraxs that in my opinion stood out above the already great quality of layouts at Ontraxs.

I took some photo's myself and would like to share them with you.

Thanks Jan for posting the photographs.

It was a pleasure to meet you in your wonderful country. Everyone was so friendly at the show.

Red Hook Bay is going to feature in articles in French and Spanish model rail magazines.

As you thought the big French layout La Gare Primery won first prize.

Once again thank you and I hope the golf went well.
