Layout Showcase / SAR layout in progress - 2019 report

« on: November 15, 2019, 09:11:08 AM »

Me and a bunch of similar reprobates went to visit a layout in Kuilsrivier. Blackie Swart and his gracious wife entertained us for 2.5 hours and we spent most of it ogling this amazing layout in progress - few facts:

- room size 84 sq/m extra height.
- full aircon and dust control (this helps reliability and performance but then, we know this)
- 3 levels
- I forgot the total length - maybe someone else can fill that in
- DC controlled

Layout Showcase / SAR Layout

Hi all

Does anyone know of this person, Blackie Swart, of Kuilsriver? Forum member Kevin_C mentioned this to me, but to date I have not met this person nor see the layout. I have seen the video on youtube before.

Enjoy!
