That is very impressive! Is the white bridge is curved to match the track? Is that a gray truss bridge to the right? And what is the red truss work supporting?

Well, I met with the local guys who have been showing Lego trains at the GATS (on and off since '85 I learned!) and let me tell you! But first off, I should say that, originally, I wanted to be in a group such as the PNLTC and so I started (...) (26 years ago, 27-Jan-99, to lugnet.loc.us.mn.msp)

It's strange how hard it is to get a bunch of 'local' LEGO train enthusiasts together (where 'local' means within 25-50 miles of where you live). I've been trying to get some interest in the SF Bay Area, with little success. I've even used a (...) (26 years ago, 25-Jan-99, to lugnet.loc.us.mn.msp)

(...) Time to warn the employees of the Lego Imagination Center :^) Seriously, Welcome to the Twin Cities! In many ways the hunting for sets can be challenging and rewarding.
