We don't think small, do we? When confronted with the relative inexperience
in building train cars, what do Bram and I do? Build ridiculously huge 8
wide monstrosities! What fun. I'm surprisingly happy with the way the
creator ship came about, considering Troy had already taken all the good
parts out of the set to sell on his brickbay shop.
We'll be meeting again on Thursday, if that is available to all, but this
time at my house. I should be home by 5, so we can start gathering then.
