Larry, I wish I had 50 for you. I guess you should focus on the first 25
windows and build just one side. Then you can just sit in a circle and have
the train run around you. Pretend you don't know the other side isn't
there. :-)

Agreed. Silver is a more costly color as the bricks have the be run through
an extra step. (although I would love a silver 50's diner.)

I see the math, since I have the spreadsheet in front of me. 40 pieces with
18 individual elements (counting the 2 colors seperate). I checked last night
and found that they have service packs with more than 18 elements. I think
there is room for the corrugated window. Now if we could just get glass for
it, we could have a really killer window collection (they would work well in
town).
Does everyone have some solid ideas for the colors?
I updated the letter. It is still not finished, but closer. It currently
lists gray and black. I know those are not the final colors, but I had to see
how it looked. Check it out at:

Let me know what you think. For the final version, I would like to have
pictures of a parts pack for us to print out and send in so that there is no
confusion. Now I wonder who would already have all these parts in his own
personal collection? Actually, Lar, if you don't have a digital camera, I
think I could make up a photo. I have 1 of each part.
