I think this building would serve very well as a train company head office, or with some modifications, as the main facade for a grand 19th century railway terminus. Greetings, M. (...)

I think that with more bulk sales items available (like WINDOWS!), we will be seeing more train folks building large "town" structures. If my town can have (...)

There is a dark brown column in 5804, blue column in 5825, dark pink in 5805, plus a number of white columns in the large palace 5808. Earlier Belville had them in (...)

I actually meant the round pillars in the middle of the front wall (either side of the main entrance(?) and balcony). (...)
