Confession time: We can't do a Track Designer (r?) layout because we cut
(gasp!) a few pieces of straight track to make things fit... I know, I know -
the opinion of us in the Lego train community just took a major dive...
The parallel tracks are made by turning off the curved track, instead of off
the straight track. Did that make any sense? What we found was that put the
parallel tracks 1 stud closer together - that meant 1 more stud of room to
build buildings!
The night club awning is made from oodles (very technical term) of 2x2 tiles.
We're working on getting more pictures up - we promise! Hopefully soon!
