James,
I really like this. It really shows off what you can do with a couple
handfuls of traditional Lego bricks. It is also a good example of the type
of non-juniorized Train theme buildings that I would love to see Lego
produce again. With a few more detail embellishments, it would make a great
set.
Sharp work.
