(...) Thanks, Will. (...) I have many fond memories of going to train shows and displays with my dad as a child as well. If I weren't into lego, I'd be into HO trains. My dad build my younger brother and myself some tables to display our HO trains (...) (18 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

These are nicely rendered, Jonathan, As soon as I saw them, my mind took me back to when I was a kid and my father was building his HO model railroad. His "downtown" area backdrop was lined with plastic building facades just like these. Yours are (...) (18 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

(...) The detail here is amazing. I also like the 1x1 rounds in the doorway. I also like the use of the 1x1's to make the window frames. Is the interior of this MOC usable? Furnished? -Dave & Stacy (18 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

I remember first meeting you and you were so modest about the things you build. What I see is a great builder! These are no exception! Great work, I liked seeing them, I am sure they will look great set up at the NMRA 2007. - Eric (18 years ago, 27-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)
