I'm a big fan of the short-lived Western theme, so it's great to see a lot of creations in this vein. My favorite individual creations include: The fire engine: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=786680 The old hearse waiting for the condemned man: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=786663 This cattle car design: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=786647 This water tower: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=786666 On the overall layout, I really like the depth of this valley: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=786630 and the way you varied the ground colors from tan to sand green to green (also brown elsewhere in the layout). Another nice detail is how you took the time to lay brown plates across all the railroad ties. One complaint. This checkers game won't last very long: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=786618 The first person to move will get a king and win the game. :) Pardon my ignorance, but what is the distinction between the SPLTC and the SCLTC?

Bruce, Glad to hear your comments about our latest layout. As Paul has already mentioned, some of our MOCs were built using images of similar items from the internet, as well as real items some of us found in books or remember from having seen in (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.trains)
