Obviously he took note of my complaint: the pictures have vanished from his homepage as well as from brickshelf.

James Mathis’ center beam car has now gotten a credit (at least I haven’t noticed that yesterday). So things have moved to the better. The URL with LEGO.cwsurf is of course still a bit risky, but that is the problem of “Niels” and the Lego company.
