That building looks pretty neat.  I only recently started building 4-sided
buildings myself.  Almost all of my prior stuff was only 6 or 8 studs deep
with no back!  I took a major step forward with my natural history museum.
I think it is at least 20 studs deep.  It doesn't have a back on it, but
this was on purpose since it has a heavily detailed interior.

With the transit station, I decided to put a back on it, but make the top
lift out for interior viewing.  This gives the building a much more
realistic and interesting look.

I like it. It cetainly has modern day architectual flares, with all • the
interesting sidebits. The monorail / train station is one I have been
thinking about building as well. The white and red give it a bold • look.
What
are all those Town Junior cars for underneath it?

Thanks - As far as the cars, there is an interesting side-story about • that.
I have no problem slapping together complex MOC buildings pretty • quickly,
but I seem to be totally incompetent at building vehicles!  I've only • built
a few MOC vehicles and they are all WORSE than those of TLC!  So, I tend • to
just use the TLC designed vehicles in my city of big beautiful MOC
buildings.

Heh., I understand that. I can build some decent car / truck / space
creations on my own, I have not done too much in custom building yet,
outside of this I did for the train show. It is my first 4 sided LEGO
building, I usually build Lego type building (3 sided, no stairs, etc). It
is pretty big for me, even though it looks like a shed compared to Chris
Leach's buildings!

One of the nice things about Chris & I is that we have a good assortment • of
custom and LEGO designed older type cars, so Town Junior does not play a
huge roll at our last train show, and for upcoming ones as well.

The Home Depot, McDonalds, Target, etc. has inspired me to build a Mejier
Fresh perhaps, or something along those lines. It sure is great to have
LUGNET for innovative ideas. I love your concept as well!
