I think a standard would work for most of the stuff. But I don't think we should make everything look exactly the same. In real life there are different types of lights and signs and stuff, sometimes as close as from one street to the next. It all (...) (24 years ago, 3-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

Hey Shaun, Thanks for the kind words I'm going to try to make it on the 17th. If I do go, I will probably just watch, and get a feel for the game so I will know how to play next time around. That train crossing was actually one of the inspirations (...) (24 years ago, 3-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) These models are awesome! I started building a water tower like yours also! Is yours made out of those quarter-round pieces from the Droid's Escape set too? Yours looks much more realistic than mine does... Timmy on a rampage! Yikes! (24 years ago, 2-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

I was thinking about making a foray into making a green line train-- I think someone mentioned that there was a site with pictures of MBTA cars somewhere around? DaveE (24 years ago, 2-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
