Hi, Andreas. Wow, I'm glad you made some photos of this amazing layout available before its deconstruction. The verticality of this whole layout is very appealing -- hanging stuff from the ceiling at different heights is a really great idea. Heaven, (...) (22 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.town)

Wow! There is so much good stuff here. The sun and the tornado are very cool, and the hanging stuff, such as the airplanes are great! 'Heaven' made me laugh- very creative idea. The train and monorail layout looks pretty good, as well. Dang, I wish (...) (22 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.town)
