| (URL) Figured I'd dust off my FTX skills and post this to LUGNET. A layout by Mike Pianta and me. (URL) More on BS> (URL) More on flickr> I'm pretty pleased with it. Tim (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !!

| (...) Fantastic layout, Tim! I love all of the details; especially the track (;-), although I do think that you guys need to do a little 1x1 plate greebling around the track beds to break up the uniform stud pattern. Is the plan to detail all around (...) (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) And you should be! I like it. Layouts like this make me want to build LEGO trains myself - alas, it takes a lot of LEGO and a lot of space, even for a small layout. But I can dream... (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) Thanks. It certainly does take a lot of space although we minimised the brick use by building only what was needed. Tim (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) Hi John, I hear you on the 1x1 plates although I think the ballast round Victoria is quite smooth which is why it doesn't have them. Mike built the track and as one of the most pedantic train builders I know I assume he had a reason ;) (...) (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Wow that is impressive. I particularly like the way you have ballasted the track and used tiles as ties. That combined with the "straights as a gradual curve" technique make the track look awesome. The quality of everything else matches and (...) (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| --snip-- (...) Thanks. That's just what we were after. Something that looked like a real model train diorama made from LEGO. Tim (14 years ago, 21-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Sorry to hear that it doesn't exist anymore. (URL) I do love collaborations, though; we did the same sort of thing with (URL) Jonathan Lopes> in Detroit back (URL) in 2007>. (...) Yes, I like that effect, but that doesn't mean that one (...) (14 years ago, 21-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Thanks, I didn't get any good shots of the hotel but let's say it was inspired (ahem copied) by your work. I'll fix it up and take some pics sometime. I've also got a three piece MOC that I think you'll dig. Tim (14 years ago, 22-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) I remember that one well. Excellent :) (...) This is true. But making this took my entire luggage allowance so any expansion would involve mailing stuff etc. Doable but a pain. I have actually considered that style of project for my own, very (...) (14 years ago, 22-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
