James, This is totally cool. I looks like there is a fair amount of engineering involved in perfectly hinging it together. I love the wheelbarrow, and the black window is a fantastic touch! This is really really good. If this set were available (...) (21 years ago, 22-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hello! (...) If TLC still made "friendly" sets they would need tons of (cypress) trees. They used to add one or more trees to almost every building (houses, police departments, gas stations) in the old days. Those many trees (and flowers) made the (...)
