Your brickshelf gallery seems to be taking a while to get moderated. Could you give us some deep links in the meantime? Tim (18 years ago, 15-Oct-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

The fire station is good, but ive never seen a 3 storie fire station. The fire engine needs to be longer. But the train engine is very good. Overall, 7 out of 10. (18 years ago, 15-Oct-06, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, FTX)
