I would have to guess that when they get that big, it would probably be more
fair to go by weight as a judge.  How else could one compare something like

Also, several modules are joined together for "one model" of a landscape. For example, (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)
