Hi folks,

A long time ago, I built a horrible blue building with the goal of • spanning
a piece of Lego track.  I couldn't finish it, and by the time
rtlToronto/train2 rolled around, it was nothing but a big empty foundation
and structure:

(BTW, the stairs were put there by some pesky kids who felt they should
freehand in some bricks for me at the show.  #$(*&#($*798#& Grr.)

I put some Lego workers around it and called it a construction site (You
see, Lego rocks because you always have extra construction workers, and • you
always can call something a construction site :) and gave up.  After • train2,
I broke it apart.

Anyways, in it's place I have built a yellow building with very large • windows:

I hope y'all like it.

That is a nice building.  The outside is a bit plain but then again so are a
lot of office buildings.  You may want to play around with some mouldings or
other details to give the building a little more personality.  I really like
the idea of the train running through the building.  One of my fellow
RichLUGers (Rich Schoonover) has a building "under contruction" in a similar
vein - he has two tracks running through it:

Your building really reminded me of his.  Thanks for sharing!

(...) Thanks-I'll probably be building two more "over track" buildings sometime in the near future, hopefully with a bit more detail if I can find enough corrogated and the like. Calum (23 years ago, 1-Dec-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.town)
