(...) Wow that is impressive. I particularly like the way you have ballasted the track and used tiles as ties. That combined with the "straights as a gradual curve" technique make the track look awesome. The quality of everything else matches and (...) (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

I love all of the details; especially the track (;-), although I do think that you guys need to do a little 1x1 plate greebling around the track beds to break up the uniform stud pattern.
