Hello,
I have completed yet another NYC firehouse.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=224648
This one from 17th street in Manhattan. I had walked by this firehouse many
times and always thought it had way to much detail to be recreated in Lego. I
guess it would help if I had a picture of the real one, but I seem to have
deleted them.
John and Ross Neal and I walked by this firehouse when they were in town over
Thanksgiving. It was then that they told me of an exciting collaborative idea
they had (and, it happened to be something I was thinking about myself to a
degree, coincidentely).... John, care to elaborate?

Sure, but first, great work! The BBB wheels nail that arch design nicely! And
here is a pic of you and Ross so graciously posing in front of it (they both
protested greatly after I kept
taking
pics of them together:-)
Well, for years I have admired Jonathan work, and it was a real treat when he
came up and introduced himself to me at the Philly show last July. After seeing
him there, having brought a few MOCs that he was literally only able to tuck
into his pocket, I thought how nice it would be to see his buildings at a show.
And then I thought: why not see if he’d be willing to show them on the TCLTC
layout in Detroit next July?
We happened to be visiting relatives over Thanksgiving in NYC and I decided to
meet Jonathan there and pitch the idea to him, and he went for it:-) Soooo-
The TCLTC is proud to announce that Jonathan Lopes will be providing virtually
all (save one) of the buildings to be displayed on our
Thomas
section.
Yes, even our Spamcake Diner® will make room for Al’s Diner:-) The only
building we are bringing on that stretch will be our Chateau, which faces our
fountain module.
We are very excited about this collaboration with Jonathan and have been
building like crazy this Christmas vacation-- we are in the process of
completely rebuilding our Thomas section to make it even better than before.
And now with Jonathan’s buildings, the TCLTC layout is going to be KILLER:-)
I can’t wait to see which buildings Jonathan decides to bring/build for the show
(I hope he doesn’t decide to use
this plot on Faile St.;-) But what can I say-- the dude’s an Ashcanner, so
who knows! :-)
JOHN
