I think that would be best. I know I don't want my Lego lumped in with
everyone elses. (Unless there is a specific list of parts etc. like I need
to do for my duel track crossing...) I'm trying to fit out a good layout for
my twin fuel tanks and having a hell of a time getting it to fit on one base
plate with a curve road...
Where do we want the tanks?
I also want to make a small pump house on the grounds...
