(...) Nice work! Thanks for sharing! " Spatula City! We sell Spatulas... and that's all! " Too funny. Also why are the cement trucks dumping cement on the beach? I don't recall a trailer park in a layout before, nice touch! Can you post a .tdl or (...) (22 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

(...) Great pics, overall - you guys must have had a really cool show! :-) I have a question: do you know who built the yellow tanker truck on pic dsc00038? I've been trying to do a similar truckl for some time now, but unsuccessfully so far :-/ (...) (22 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.lucny, lugnet.loc.pt)

We had a very good time and shared our building tips and knowledge of Lego trains to more people than we can count. I hope we will get some new (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

(...) I do not have a way to get better detail shots of that model as I do not own a digital camera (I put my money into bricks instead). I used Lego set 6562 as my guide for building my semi-trailer. See here --> (URL) you follow the basic idea of (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.lucny, lugnet.loc.pt)

(...) Thank you. Understated--hmmm. That is a good way to describe a lot of what we build. The buildings were created by members Kevin Salm, John Rudy, John Barnes, and Dave Amos. In fact, the large white and red Motel was the very first Building (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

John continues to create pieces that seem to become our version of (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

Pay no attention to the mis-alignment of the third silo, as that was a result of the neighboring table being out of level eith respect to the table supporting the rest of the (...)

(...) My design certainly wasn't. Putting the Breezeway windows sideways like that was something I came up with on my own looking through Railroad Modeler. Checking now, I see a few Art Deco details on baseplate.com, but nothing like this... Peter (22 years ago, 2-May-03, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

(...) Hey All, I told Kevin this little tidbit, but was refering to the Art-deco curves at the top of the bay windows, not the bay window design itself (which is ingenious, BTW).
