(...) Incrediable! It reaaly gives the look of the real thing. I love the staircase! Are those black 1x1 plates holding up the dark gray 2x4 plates? How sturdy is it? I've been looking for a solution to a similar problem. In the third pic the (...) (24 years ago, 9-May-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) Very nice. From the green and white train in this picture: (URL) I take that you are modeling Boston's El?

That looks really great! I can't think of any obvious ideas for improvement off the top of my head. The station looks a little plain, but any ideas I might have for dressing things up would probably make it look less realistic. If you wanted more (...) (24 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) Thanks! (...) I wanted to keep it in line with the style of my buildings. I am thinking it will come to life with some signs & also when I populate it. I really appreciate you taking the time to look & comment. Thanks again, Jonathan (24 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) Yeah, the midsection is tough to design-- with 8-wide I got one that looks ok, but there are still some gaps here and there when turning... I guess Lego just wan't meant to bend like that :( You can see some great pictures of the actual Boston (...) (24 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)
