And I thought a nice little house might be a good place to start!

These were very popular in the past, maybe a balance is required between
the 'action' sets and the 'model' sets. Both have potentially the same play-
value but would a "boring" house or Radio-Telescope station sell in amongst
the 'instant excitement' toys? Who cares, I'd buy them!*

In addition to Paul's list I'd like to see some everyday stuff like factories
and processing plants/lumber yards etc - too unglamourous for most?

Nice idea about the road plates but this effectively means a complete new
theme almost as big as trains and we've all seen how little support TLG has
given these recently...

21st Century)
