Dear All
I’m pleased to announce pictures of the fourth Great Western LEGO Train Show
at STEAM, the Museum of the Great Western Railway in Swindon, UK. The event

this is so nice (apart

background of the wall to allow the viewer to focus on the layout and appreciate
it more fully.
Kudos from across the pond! Thanks for sharing!

We solve that problem by having a couple of joined in-line layouts that (...) (18 years ago, 15-Oct-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
