I want to see a close up of that black biulding on the corner. It looks like the
corner is runded off. These cities/street scenes (this one and the stuff all you
other guys do) alway impress me. My layout has no buildings (well a train
station, freight station pizza joint, and crossing shed). Maybe I should try to
build some.....

PS By the way, ver nice work. Where are you? It looks like a stdium, domed, I
assume.

That is very impressive! Is the white bridge is curved to match the track? Is
that a gray truss bridge to the right?

It looks like a truss bridge with a draw bridge at the end.


And what is the red truss work
supporting?

That white thing looks like the center of a lift bidge.

The 6 slides really make a cool carnival ride!

As promised, here is a teaser pic:

That entire layout is built from Lego. All those red sides with black
streaks are Lego! Only the supporting tables (the boards and draping)
are not.

Conan Callopy (much of the bricks are his and his uncle's) is in the
center area and John Gerlach (master builder of rolling stock) is in the
black shirt behind the layout. This pic was taken at the Great Create
(last year??). As I type this (from the World Club at the MPLS airport
awaiting my flight....) the UMLTC gang is on their way to LaCrosse Wi
for a show.

These guys are a little less purist than me, note the billboards. John
often uses decals or labelmaker labels to decorate his engines and
rolling stock. But I can deal.
