I have cross-posted this to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos (because that is where TCS is
after all).
I think we are starting to get some Ideas and I think I will probably start a
dedicated thread for this project very soon.

I like this idea a lot but we need to figure out exactly what we are going for.
I know we have said that we would like to include some of the current sets in
the set-up because that helps The Construction Site sell sets. I guess we need
to decide what our theme is. I have a few Ideas and will list them when I
start the dedicated thread.

All very cool sounding stuff. I think part of the dedicated thread will
include having people put down what they can contribute.
