New part of the alaf's layout

As a extension of the old layout built in the old premisses at Voroux, this new part represent Liège-Guillemins station and the “quadrilatère” (quadrilateral), place where 7 lines are crossing from or towards Liège-Guillemins, as line to Verviers and Germany, to Gouvy and the Luxemburg, to Visé and the Netherlands, To Namur and France. It allows us to use foreign locomotives, coaches... The layout is now ready for circulation on two-rails system, but märklin system is foreseen for future extensions. At our exhibition, on 6 and 7 of november 1999, this layout will be used, with many long trains, which will allow us to let some trains come again on the same place (and on the same direction) after 15 minuts.
