Excellent layered construction, as well; this is in the best tradition of Town and Train (...) (21 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.boats)

| | | | Gee it's big! :^) Awesome model! The removable decks are nice, the detail is great, and the ferry reminds me of home (Texas, not BC). I especially like the homemade rafts. -Stefan- (21 years ago, 27-Feb-03, to lugnet.boats)
