Set 6388 (Holiday Home with Camper Van) is indeed an awesome set.  It came
from a highschool kid (Frank knows who) who was disposing of a massive
collection.  I tried to buy the entire thing from him a couple times but
couldn't negotiate a price I was comfortable with so I picked some of the
cream off of the top (6399 Airport Shuttle, 6388 Holiday Home, 6542 Launch
'N Load Seaport, 6394 MetroPark, and probably half a dozen others).  Frank
ended up buying the rest for a much better deal than I ever came close to
getting.

Unfortunately the small town around the race track has been destroyed.  The
inherent risk of it being in a five year old's room.  We'll probably build
something similar soon.  The yellow building you mention (which there isn't
a close up of) was a small house with a patio built entirely from one of the
anniversary tubs.  Right now the only town components I still have assembled
are shown at:  http://www.nclug.net/members/mw/smalltown.htm  On this page
is a picture of my rev 2 school bus - it looks better as I made it four
studs longer.  Frank suggested I make it a six-wide when I showed it to him
but I haven't gotten around to that yet.
