Once again, the El Peso team participated in the Alpe Dunav Jadran Exhibition, an annual event that continues to grow in size each year. This year, over 15 very large modular layouts were showcased at the well-known Family Mall shopping center in their spacious exhibition hall. The local model railroading club, KZMZ, not only organized the event but also marked its 55th year of operation.
