In November there was a publication in the France Loco-Revue magazine of our performance at the Ramma show at Sedan (france).
Eight pages about the " Tripton by the Sea " scale seven railway of Ton Trip where filled with beautiful pictures and an inspiring text. An include DVD showed a lot of model railway is operation and also the "Tripton by the Sea" layout with running scale seven engines and rolling stock build by Ton Trip and Cor de Jong both from the Netherlands.

Next show will be in March the OnTrax show in Utrecht. This show will held in the Dutch National Railway Museum. We will set up the Tripton by the Sea railway and operate for 3 days. 

Next project is to build the 2-4-0 GWR Stella class complete with inside motion.
This engine is complicated because the double frame construction and outside cranks for the coupling rods. The scale seven group supplied longer axles to fit in the frame. It will be a nice engine.
