I will have to chime in here as well, I agree with Larry this is right up
there with Eric's train station, it as that "real" look to it. My wife even
noticed it and said it was really neat, did the person who made that make it
from real life? Is there real life outside of LEGO? ; )
It has a lot of little details that make it look real, from the skip /
dumpster tot he lathe, the office area, the drill press, etc. Excellent job,
Hew!
On a side note in terms of this, I have never really been into trains too
much outside of LEGO, and if / when I get building again, are there any
resources that gives some details in the US train industry, in terms of
modern railroading and operations? With buildings, equipment, etc? I am
thinking of doing a train station / cargo area / switchyeard, but I don't
know where to begin.
