Meanwhile, have a look at a sneak preview of just a few pics.

Eric, these are so good it hurts. (1) We have seen a lot of good rolling • stock,
but this is one of the better *scenes* I've seen. There is a lot of eye • candy
there (the stairs down, the rusted part of the roof, the stucco breaking • away)
for one to discover.

1 - except for the shunting engine. That's just weird. What is with those • huge
buffers on the ends?

Followups to .trains where they belong.

I disagree Larry. These are general enough in terms of how to do a LEGO • scene that
they deserve to be in .build. Also, I don't subscribe to .train...

The buffers on the shunting engine look like that in Europe. Well, maybe • they are
a LITTLE exaggerated.


There was no room to connect the regular buffers, so I had to improvise. The
shunting engine was really a tiny puzzle and has some awkward constructions
inside.

I'm surprised Larry missed the ballast in the tracks under the shunting • engine. Erik
sure has a lot of Technic bushings, doesn't he?



Actually it's 1x1 rounds, but i'm pleased someone noticed them at all.

I will prepare the rest of the pics within a few days.

Eric
