Hm. Dan, your point is valid, I think, but not what Larry was referring to. To my way of thinking, the buildings -should- have been (but were not) posted to lugnet.trains. They were instead posted to lugnet.trains.org (among others). Larry's point (...) (23 years ago, 23-Sep-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.trains)

WOW! Now this is a beautiful model! ;-) I simply *love* the clean design Adrian! And the tracks look very cool; better than wheels. The interior is excellent, as well as the overall colour scheme.

Looks nice. The see-through nature of the thin-walls make it seem a little too "empty" though.
