Agreed.  As a castle guy, I learned a ton by building Dan Siskind's Blacksmith
Shop design (also very educational for town builders).  Look through recent
castle creations (e.g. search "tudor" on Brickshelf:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=tudor&stype=f&n=6  ) to see how
that set has had wide influence.  I'm not a train guy, so I never got James
Mathis' cars, but from the comments I read it sounds like this was similarly
instructional.  I'd like to see them use the use of novel construction
techniques (at least novel to official sets) as a criterion in choosing MOC sets
from other themes.
