It is a wonderful train structure-- by far the best TLC has ever produced, at
only comment to Brad was that I wish they had
decided to chose *dark red* instead of red to simulate the brick.  That would
have changed my rating of it from an "9" to an "11".

I agree with John..from the pictures I have seen the shed is a decent design
from Lego but would have looked MUCH better in dark red...Besides dark red
is my new favorite color to make town/train buildings out of..hee hee

I don't know if I agree. I think that the regular red was a good choice. If
dark red was used against a black roof and dark gray highlights along the
side, the whole structure would have looked washed out and dull.

Of course, I guess we will see soon enough when John makes a dark red
version when the set comes out!
