That's awesome. I was thinking of the same thing and had already gone to www.grandhotel.com to look at some pics--but there's no way I can do it for this next time. Go for it! That would rock. Only... don't build it to scale. It would stratch our (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Chris & All, (...) Cool, that sounds great. I am thinking of build a rather large train station, with two platforms, and the other two lines going in it. I will need to sketch up some ideas. I want to put a upper level monorail station as well. I (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Good idea Peter! Who is going to do the Fort Mackinac? But I see one small problem. I don’t know about the rest of you but I didn’t see a monorail or a train go across the Mackinac Bridge the last time I was there. I’m sensing a new display (...)

(...) How about the Chief Wawatam? Although it's no longer operational it was a VERY quaint train ferry and quite a bit smaller than the Ludington Manitowoc ones... (hence easier to model) (...) GREAT idea. ++Lar (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) A standard large stanchion (10 bricks I think but check me on that) plus 6 bricks. The 6 extra allow it to clear trains when it crosses ++Lar (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Larry & All, (...) That's right, I kept on thinking 11 for some reason. So we are looking at a height of 16 bricks for the second story. Right, I will be playing with that. Thanks! Scott S. -- (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) This could make for an interesting display. Maybe a large island with lots-o-buildings. Water around the island, and land around that. The track could run around the outside ring of land. I for one, would be happy to work up a large dock (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Hmmm... interesting. The father or grandfather of one of my colleagues piloted the Wawatam and the nameplate is hanging in his classroom. I'll see what I can find... I rode the Ludington one last summer, which is what got me interested in it. (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
