(...) Very nice. Like everyone else, I like the block glass effect of the 1x2 windows. The chimney... did you try building it with those 2x4x5 semicircle bricks? Just a thought. By the way, I like the way some of the lights on the sign look brightly (...) (18 years ago, 13-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

Given the dearth of comments so far I thought I'd add my voice to the appreciative few. I love the windows - I too have acquired many hundreds of those, but I've only used them in 4x4 configurations as many-paned house windows rather than pseudo (...)

I might have gone with another color tile than sand green on the tops of the facade, but that is just me. (...) (18 years ago, 12-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

Holy cow. I don't go online for a week and look what happens. That is amazing. I think that is the first set in a long time that I might not take apart right away for the parts.

(...) I totally agree with you. It seems that all my buildings have the either stacked 2x2 trans-black panels or the 1x4x5 large pane windows. Not much variety. They need to make a 1x3x4 double paned office building window. -Jim (18 years ago, 10-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
