Well, the chateau is agreeably too large, but this green one is one of my
*biggest* buildings.  I'm tired of minifig scale (you know, buildings with no
rears, etc).  Now that we (GMLTC) are uncompressing with our train car width, I
think we should uncompress the buildings a little as well.

But whether or not my structures end up as a part of the layout or not isn't my
concern.  They all will fit in nicely on my home layout:-)
