Has anyone ever tried to make one of those train modules they use in the
GMLTC? I am starting one and it is taking A LOT of bricks and also a lot of
time. I cannon really imagine having 8, let alone Conan's 16. I was hoping
to have it done before the BayLUG meeting, but I don't think there is any way
that is going to happen.
On a side note, I did some figuring. If he has 2-3 million bricks, it would
cost about 25-38 thousand dollars and would be 1 to 1 1/2 40 FOOT TRUCKLOADS
of bulk tubs! That is CRAZY! My 100,000 piece collection occupies most of
the rec room. How can he fit 30 times that in a house?
Back on topic, I was wondering if there was a secret on how to make these
things a little easier to build. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
