Maglev eh? Brad was asked about that at LW... I forget where I saw maglev done
before... at BricksWest 2003, in the LLC pavilion space I think.
They had a different arrangement of magnets though. Yours might actually use a
few less.
I gotta say, guy... I have some issues with that model, it doesn't seem to be
lit up and doesn't seem to have any modified bricks either, but maybe I wasn't
looking closely enough. If not, what's up with that, d00d? You have a rep to
maintain, you know.
Oh, also, in the "junk" section, I'm thinking UP Locomotive #2 deserves to be
moved out of there, it's got a lot of potential, I like the way you did the
numberboards in the first pic better than the rest.
