(...) Thanks, John! Lol! You do deserve credit, bro. If it we're for NMRA looming, I would probably only have built one building in February, rather than all these. Look for more from me in a couple of weeks. I have two more just about ready to go. (...) (18 years ago, 26-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) You just get better with every street. The sand red building works really well, combined with (medium, Mearsk?) blue it gives a really subduded colour balance. I like the use of the car grills on the black shop front too. Tim (18 years ago, 26-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

There's so much to love in this MOC. The SNOT 1X2 plate window overhangs, the curved and layered for depth 1X1 rounds in the doorway, the 1X2 trans brick windows... I love it all! David "Fuzzy" Gregory (18 years ago, 25-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

I just look up the dimensions of these things and they're restricted to 2.5m wide including mirrors. 8 wide is about 0.8 studs to the foot for US trains (IIRC) so 7/0.8=2.66m so you're right.
