To All, (...) Indeed. Maybe we should let the kids play with it a little. I am sure they would like it.

I'll try for 6 (2 x 3) plates, but it might end up 8 (2x4). That will include the KFC, McDonald's, parking/drive-thru, and IHOP. I'll do it on baseplates with a raised "berm" as someone called it, kind of like Steve did with the turntable, to hold (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
