And so LCadville is born!  See
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Fields/1864/lcadville.html for its humble
beginnings.

The idea is this:

Anyone who designs a town building and models it in LDraw can have their own
plot in LCadville.  After a .dat file is posted to lugnet.cad.dat.models, I
will periodically add it to the town layout and run a new POV scene. • Requests
for specific placement will be honored to the extent I can.

Keep in mind that LCadville is a smallish town at this point, so no
skyscrapers need apply.

Anyone who submits a house may also submit a vehicle for their driveway.

Buildings should be submitted without a baseplate, but landscaping is • welcome.

I'll be working on a way to identify the owners of individual buildings in • the
town.

So let's see those town buildings coming!  In addition to houses, LCadville • is
in need of all the basic buildings a town requires, i.e. city hall, general
store, school, bank, post office, etc.

(...) Just an idea: Once the town gets big enough to necessitate multiple views, you could do a top view with an image map to link to all the houses/vehicles on LUGNET. --Bram (25 years ago, 3-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I have a building don in LDraw, it's a breadshop and a butcher's and an apartment above them. I would happily donate it to the project (actually, I'd be proud if it were accepted) but I have a problem: It's built to use a plate as a floor, and (...) (25 years ago, 4-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)

I'm not sure if you've seen it yet, but I've been working on a few new "smaller" elements. Among them are the Texas-style (horizontal) traffic signals and 2 different street light designs. (I've used the shorter street light before in my real Lego (...) (25 years ago, 9-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)
