Sorry Jeff for not giving you credit...I guess that's what happens if you
show up late for dinner....The train looked beautiful...are you going to
use the transparent "wall elements" for the windows, and what are you going
to use for the doors? At the dinner, it looked mostly like a shell....
somewhat unfinished..... Are you going to bring it to Train2?
Derek, Oliver Giessen brought a cool train-based model that was super long
and very wide....I think he said he wasn't going to bring it at the last
dinner to the event..... so I'm sure that participants, other enthusiasts
and visitors alike at the show will enjoy your model (and yours Too, Jeff!!!!)
