COOL!! When do we get to see some close ups of some of those buildings?? I really want to see what I think is the grey "train station?" and my color might be a little off though it looks a little purple? (might be pink, looks kinda like the slides (...)

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)
