Well, I gasped, but my opinion of you has not gone down (you do not paint bricks
to get the colors you want, do you?) Lego make such a limitted selection of track
that it can be annoying, especially the points. Didn't someone come up with a
great design suggestion for the points?


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.

Ah.....so, it is not curved.



We're working on getting more pictures up - we promise!  Hopefully soon!
