Wow. It is a real shame that TLC would not make such a high quality set. I know I would splurge (uh, spend) whatever it took to buy one of those! Great job on the engine shed, could you post a few pictures from the other side? Wayne G. (...) (25 years ago, 11-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

Actually, I was trying to pull Ben's leg and have him think the shed was a set (since he collectively pulled ours;). Hopefully, it dazed him briefly;-) Mike is about right-- I bought 44 classic train sets to get the black 4x3 and 3x3 slopes for the (...) (25 years ago, 11-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

Oh, I thought he was referring to the red windows on his engine shed. I couldn't figure out what recent set would have had those (besides the service pack or some freestyle sets)... got it now, I think. Thanks jt (...) North Georgia LEGO Train Club (...) (25 years ago, 11-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

He is referring to set #3225, which is ironic, as it first appeared in Germany, IIRC. Of course, John bought 46 copies, which is excessive, even for set hogs like the GMLTC. ;-) Mike Poindexter (...) bricks (...) in (...) (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks, Ben. Finally TLC came out with a decent set! It came with a lot of red windows and black low slopes. I'm surprised you haven't seen it in Deutschland yet-- maybe just a special release in the US? -John (...) (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

Hi John! Indeed, very nice pictures! I wish the 45° sloped roof bricks would be available as supplementary box in germany too. We have no Lego® roof bricks left to buy here. During the last years we could get at least 22° bricks in red...... (...) (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Nice building John! Nice photo too. So, when are you going to start weathering these models? Those lovely white windows and door are much too pristine for an engine shed <G,d & r> Kevin (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

I think that the doors are just 1x bricks attached with the 1x2,1x2 hinge pieces. No tricky attachment there, just a lot of black bricks. Mike James Mathis <thakius@nmt.edu> wrote in message news:FstD4y.LJ5@lugnet.com... (...) the (...) (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

This is a very nice building. Woah! Lot's of windows. Wheh! What I really like are the track doors: The black arch piece attached to the top of the door looks good. I'd like to see a close-up of how the door is constructed and the black arch piece (...) (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)
