Indeed. And I think it was the cohesive look of your group's work that
struck me. It looks as though it could have all been done by one person.
Of course, that would be a person with a *really* large collection I suppose.
As well, I have seen other buildings like these, but perhaps not in a
well-crafted diorama style like that. A nice building standing alone
against a plain background probably isn't as striking as one that's nicely
woven into a scene like those you posted. See, if you'd just mentioned
there were buildings in your train pics I would have looked at them long
ago. ;)

I'll take a look. So many pics.... so little bandwidth at home. :(

Well, I've given it some thought from time to time. I'm just worried that
my anti-social tendencies might scare others away. ;)
In all seriousness, I've never been much for clubs or groups even when I
enjoy whatever it is they're meeting about. Not sure why this is, just been
that way all my life. But who knows.... maybe someday.

Actually, I've wondered about that. Not about being alone, but about a club
or at least even other LEGO fans in this area. I know of the Toronto guys,
of course, but in all my time on LUGNET have never heard anyone else refer
to Stratford or the surrounding area. I don't even think I've heard of a
person from London which has a population of over 300,000. Surely there's
someone else west of the Kitchener region besides me? I'll have to post
something to the Ontario local group.
Thanks for all the info Larry!
