(...) Nice work. Did you consider using BBB wheels in Light gray? From the picture it isn't clear if the wheels are black or dark gray. Thanks for choosing Big Ben Bricks for your excellent MOCs. Ben Fleskes Big Ben Bricks LLC (18 years ago, 5-Jan-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

I like the second scene a lot! The rich but simple detailing you put into each building is excellent. I like your use of the new wheel frames, even if it does raise bley issues. Thanks for sharing and God Bless, Nathan (URL) (18 years ago, 5-Jan-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
