October 19-20.
I'm sorry that my English
grammar is not so good, but I'm sure you can understand
anyway.
This Years Norwegian Hobby
Show was on location at Skedsmohallen
of Lillestrøm north of Oslo.
For me it was the first time
to participate with a layout in a show like this. I must say
it was very nice to meet so many people I know from the
internet.
I had lots of possitive
reactions from the visitors. As you can see from the
pictures, i built at platform which I covered with a carpet. It is also my own sofa.
I noticed that a lot of women
were very found of the smal cute trains. They really wanted
to have at coffee table like this at home!
I also spoke with a lot of
men who told med that they had z-scale starter sets at home.
Now that they could see that it actually is possible to
build a "real" layout even in a coffee table, they
told me they wanted to do something simulare.
The trais ran well all the
weekend, and only a few minor incidents where the locos
stalled on a switch happend.

Translation:
Not IKEA:
Heine Pedersen from Sarpsborg showed his modelrailway in a
coffee table at the Hobby Show at Skedsmohallen this
weekend. - When I have visitors that are not found of
trains, I just cover it up, says Pedersen.
This picture was the only
report from the show.
