(...) My main concern with this layout is the lack of storage space for trains. The passenger sidings barely have room for an engine and two cars. The longer trains we ran at the previous show would have to be broken up in order to fit anywhere. I'd (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

My sister-in-law watches for LEGO sales for me, and just told me that Zellers has a StarWarsPack for Cdn$50, and WalMart has a StarWarsPack for Cdn$38.88. Both are supposedly half price, and with the packs representing a savings already, the result (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.market.shopping)

Thanks very much Steve, it is a very nice layout. Almost makes me want to make more tables!
