Would someone be willing to get pictures of these? I'm curious. I think
8-widers would appreciate these road plates since their trucks should also be
8-wide which don't fit on the older road plates very well. Even for 6 widers,
wider roads might be nice.

Hi Frank,

Unfortunately I don't have a way to get pictures because I only access the
internet at work.  Hopefully someone else will be able to provide scans.

I actually think this is in its own way a good sign. It's a sign that TLC does
recognize that you need more than a bunch of vehicles to make a town. Once you
have roads, kids will expect buildings to put between the roads.

I never thought about it that way.  Perhaps you're right, and maybe TLC WILL
create new buildings for a town theme.  I just hope they're not ALL
reflective of the Jack Stone style.

I wonder how many kids today who are the age to play with the non-juniorized
system sets actually build towns? In the toy stores, I see tons of town setup
toys for younger kids (many more than when I was a kid), but not much for older
kids.

Frank

I also have noted that there aren't many town kits for older builders.  I'm
guessing not many kids build cities anymore and that's one of the main
reasons TLC discontinued the product line.  I guess I can only keep hoping
for change in the near future...

Regards,

Michael
