I have poored over the photos and watched all the movie clips. Just GREAT
work!!!
It's great to see more collaboration going on for LEGO train shows. All I can
say is thanks for posting your success and making me wish I could have seen the
display in person. I count myself twice lucky to have gone to two PNLTC
events. (I live in the middle of New Mexico.) The load of photos you post is
the next-best thing to being there. Excellent photos of quality designs.
Thank you!
