Thanks.
In a way, I guess LEGO(R)/LEGO Direct(R) is producing non-juniorized "sets"
again. Showcasing the January 2002 catalog train diorama red/black engine
shed on their website is a nice interactive way to allow folks to realize a
basic brick construction. Embellishments: In fact, they seem to do just that
in showing some nice detail embellishments such as the gray vent/fence,
picnic table, side office shed, and workshop details. Perhaps LD will
continue to offer such online ideas and grow that section of the web site to
become a more comprehensive online idea book?
For my gray engine shed, I found it a little difficult to try to add detail
embellishments while staying within only those elements offered in bulk. I
did grab a little bit from the "theme" accessories pack section. The white
2x2 radar dishes that I used for outside street lamps come in a "theme" Life
on Mars Accessory pack #3750. One can embellish the basic construction with
choice details picked from these "theme" accessory packs. Just using bulk
brick packs is a nice challenge.
