My opinion a big downtown would not look good in a small display. Don’t get me wrong, the skyscrapers are very impressive. The monorail is really cool to have going though a city, but I think smaller displays need smaller cities. I’m thinking of something like Ann Arbor. It would have a nice sized train yard but the downtown would be smaller with smaller buildings. I do think we need more train related stuff for just an occasion. We could focus more on train stuff with a smaller display. I also agree with Scott on the "Lego" buldings. Costum buildins would be more impressive. In my own opinion of course. I would like to hear what people think the smaller display would look like. Tony
