Hi Chris,
No kidding, that aspect ratio is a hard nut to crack for a train club. It took
me a while to get my head around how to approach it. I would have liked to have
a christmas tree in there, but the muse didn’t call on me that night. It also
made it a ton easier with Kelly partnering on this. Not to mention we kicked
around several ideas on the GPLR mailing list, it was really a team effort.
I am sure you guys can knock it out of the park, you just got to get your IN to
the box thinking caps on! ;)

Sneak peak of the GPLR (Greater Portland LEGO Railroaders) diorama for the
Portland LEGO store. Kelly McK and I worked on this for about 8 hours over
the long Thanksgiving weekend. It is sure nice to actually get my fingers on
the brick. It is very therapeutic in that it helps refocus you on what this
hobby is all about; good building sessions and great friends.
The display case measures 19”x 16”x 31”, hence the portrait style layout.
I tried replicating a model RR’ing technique where I used 3 blues under the
clear plates in the lower right hand corner to simulate various depths of
water. Not quite sure it’s working out...
The house on the left is a miniature version of the current LEGO set 4886
“Building Bonanza”
The house on the right comes from an idea book from 1973.

Great display! NELUG has been asked to do one too, but I have shied away
from that responsibility because of the shape of the window. Vertical
displays scare me :( but you have really pulled it off! Now, I am almost
inspired to design a vertical display for the next go round.
