(...) Another great building from you Jonathan. The wheel hubs (?) are perfect for the windows and a wonderfully clever use of parts. My favourite bit though is the door. It screams Sesame Street to me in a very good way ;) Tim (19 years ago, 13-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)

When we first saw the recent firetruck set with the fenders (?) I knew I wanted to use those parts for lintels on a building. I thought they were nearly perfect. I wish they were attached to a plate rather than a brick, but I made it work anyway, (...) (19 years ago, 13-Mar-06, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town) !!
