David, very nice design, simple but effective. I recently purchased my first
Lego train but have yet to sit down and really try to build some of my own
cars. These pictures and ideas of yours may just inspire me.

To me this just begs for some sort of walkway overpass from the control
tower to the viewing area. Even a simple footbridge with steps up each side
and a small horizontal section. You could make it covered but I just see it
open to the elements.

| I cleaned off the kitchen table this week, in order to sort some LEGO bought over the past few months, and to *finally* build something! I worked on a couple new iterations of the multi-bed 'well-car' designs. I'd made a new page ((URL) to document (...)
