" Spatula City! We sell Spatulas... and that's all! " Too funny.

The idea for Spatula City, originated I think by Weird Al Yankovick in the
movie UHF, was created for a few reasons.  The first is because some of our
club members are not too crazy about the idea of having a Spamcake Diner;
Spatula City is LUCNY's trademark creation.  The second reason is because I
wanted a way to use all the hideous Orange Lego bricks I have been
accumulating.  The third reason is because it goes well with our A&W Root Beer
car-hop diner built by member John Rudy (who also helped with Spatula City).
The A&W diner is modeled after one that is still operating in Cortland, NY and
is a local landmark.  Sadly, it recently burned but is being re-built to open
next month (the real one, not the Lego one, that is).
Even though Spatula City is LUCNY's trademark creation, anyone is welcome to
copy it and use it for public shows.  I would consider it an honor if it were
copied.

I just dug up other pictures of Spatula City at a previous show:

and at our practice layout several weeks ago:

Again, I give permission for anyone to make a copy of Spatula City.
Before our next show I plan to create a better billboard and make another sign
for the store.

(...) Sharing is the best part about Lego Train layouts, right? If it was not fun no clubs would do it. We had a very good time and shared our building tips and knowledge of Lego trains to more people than we can count. I hope we will get some new (...)
