| The Best of Show winner from the meet was again Mike Lewitzke for a highly detailed HO scale Other Side of the Tracks diorama. The model also took 1st in the General catagory. | Chuck Auclair's HO scratchbuilt pulp mill "bridge car" took first place in non-revenue equipment. Such cars were needed when a mill expanded a warehouse to the otherside of existing trackage. | Tim Hellman took home first place in the Youth catagory for his huge HO Liebherr LTM Heavy Mobile Crane. This Kibri kit was probably the tallest entry in the contest room in years. |
After the presentation of contest awards, attendees were treated to the following layouts on tour:
|
|
||
| Marty's HO layout is highly detailed and set in the Wisconsin towns of Clyman Junction, South Beaver Dam, Grand Marsh, Adams/Friendship and Wyeville. For more information, visit the "400 Route's" website. | ||

| The father and sons team have two layouts in the basement. On the lower level is British OO scale while Lionel equipment reigns on the top level. All use command control. | ||
|
 |
 |
| A transfer table is used to move equipment around the shop area. | Trains and a lot of accessories make for plenty of action on this layout. | Under the Lionel action there is an OO scale layout featuring British equipment. |
