Monkton Park Primary School T-Trak Club were delighted to be invited back to the STEAM museum to display our T-Trak layout for a second time. We were allocated a wonderfully atmospheric location on the platform of the museum's replica station alongside celebrity GWR locomotive 6000 King George V. (This engine was presented with a commemorative bell when it visited the United States in 1927).

We were busy all weekend with visitors driving our trains, looking out for the model signals, and talking about safety on the real railway. Our layout had a different "game" this time: trains worked in and out of our Monkton Park Terminus Station set of modules, round a variant of the "Australian paperclip" T-Trak layout to a balloon loop.
