Many of you may remember Steve Barile's great buildings that he posted a while back (see (URL) Well, after seeing them and a few others at the GATS show in Portland, I couldn't get them out of my head. I had to build a couple of similar icons. So I (...) (23 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town) !!

Hey, Those are really great! I've been shifting to ever larger buildings lately in an attempt to get something really cool, but I'm amazed at how many smaller buildings have come out lately of such fine quality. Hmmm - Maybe bigger isn't necessarily (...) (23 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)

(...) I like the Starbucks, I've got one going too, but mine is in a skyscraper, i just need a sign, I also have a Subway in the same building. Its amazing the number of "commercialized" buildings poping up. Josh (23 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)

(...) It's a lot easier to detail the interior of a small store than a big one. On the other hand, for train shows it's questionable how much you need to detail the inside of buildings- unless you are out there lifting off the roof every 5 minutes (...)

Tony: Great job on both of these stores. I love all the small details that you have packed in. I had to laugh at the "12.01" cost of a cup of coffee until I saw the last picture - yikes, a cup of coffee as big as one's head. No wonder it cost (...)
