Woah, That looks good. I'm having a little difficulty with the file that
the LEGO store is supplying. I've discovered that my Mac unzips the lxf
"zip" archive provided by the Store site one step too far. I've also
discovered that since the Factory preview doesn't send the file as a zip
archive, my computer doesn't unzip it too far. So, to make a short story
long...
I really like what I see, but could I have your username, so I can find
the model in your gallery, so I can download the lxf file from the
Factory (and not the Store) web site? (Nice run on sentence, don't you
think?)
Thanks,
Chris

| (...) Ah, ok. My username is "jbschwarz" on the Factory website. Hope that you have better luck obtaining the LXF file that way. If not, I could email it to you or something. -Jordan (18 years ago, 27-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains)
