Hey Gang,
Finally got some pics taken of a couple models I built for the SPLTC train
layout we did for the National Orange Show we were at in San Bernadino over
Memorial Day weekend.
It is completely out of my imagination but based on the grand old hotels from
the turn of the century. I have always had a fascination with the Golgen age
of travel and finally had enough tan bricks to bring one of these beauties to
life in Lego!

I had a blast building it even though I have almost no tan bricks left. A lot
of the parts came from the obsolete bricks (thats what we called em. They
came from LSI and were from older sets that were no longer being produced)
that were the in Legoland California clubhouse building tables. The 1x4x3
panels, the 1x2 pointed roof bricks on the top, and the Adventurers wheels
all came from pic-a-brick.
You can see an alternate view at http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mwv1970
Hope you like it! Will have another one posted here shortly!

Nice! I especially like the panels under the first-floor windows.
But where’s the Ricky Ricardo suite?
