Hi all, Recently I was looking through the CSF stampunk inspirations galleries and found (URL) this picture>. I thought this was pretty cool since it combined a train, some town and some pipes. Rather than using it for inspiration, I decided to (...) (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !

Hi All, Jeremy Rear and I (GPLR) got together last night and finished up this new factory building. Nothing too fancy, built with a bunch of airplane windows from Pick-a-Brick.
