PSLTC has developed a suburban house standard, which is presented below. Jeff Pelletier did most of the thinking and work. The primary constraints and goals of the standard are: 1) PSLTC typically uses roadplates with 7 x 2/3 sidewalks built up (...) (18 years ago, 30-Jan-07, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains.org)

Very nice! As usual with your work I find myself sucked into enjoying a town MOC (shudders instinctively ; ) I particularly like the 'teeth' look inside the back of the truck, a nice piece of realism. My other faviourite part of this MOC was (...) (18 years ago, 31-Jan-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

Jon, Damn that Sh** is dope!!! Really. I've been playing with the idea of using the Spiral staircases to make wall sections for some of my Belville-scale stuff, but this is by far a more innovative and useful application. Also, the elevated line is (...) (18 years ago, 30-Jan-07, to lugnet.town)
