Why not? What were they?

No great loss there. I've never seen anything on eBay that's inspired me to
sign up.

Well, .loc.uk has all been about the Beano, and .trains is all about obscure
American train logos. You haven't missed much. If you want some good
reading, you could always try starting a thread on how the .train crowd
always seem to do better buildings than .town.

Now that is a loss. You've done some great buildings. But then I can't get
round to photographing any of my latest stuff.

That's bad. Any chance of converting you to MOC British steam, instead of
those 12V-9V conversions and train theme expansions on your site?

How about starting with that castle wall interface you were planning? Can
you put some fixed connectors inside it, deep enough into the wall that
their colours are hidden from the outside? (So we can use wheel mount
bricks instead of loose connector pegs). Peg on the right, hole on the left
should do it.

Hmm, neither's anyone else. We're all too busy reading the Beano that came
free with those Lego Nesquik bunnies.

Not a fan of Harry Potter then. Hagrid's Hut is pretty good.

Apart from bulk ordering of the stormtrooper/imperial guard set..?

Do a conversion job, then have it as layout space.

Oh cheer up. It's the depression of having had Christmas in all the shops
for a month, when there's still ages to go.
I've given up trying to photograph everything I do for my site before I take
it apart. It all seems like too much effort and responsibility, and that
takes the fun out of it. I'm building for my own enjoyment, not everyone
else's.
Anyway, who's doing the first fest of next year?
