Our train layout this last weekend was a great success, and we again collected the 2nd place "people's choice" award.

(...) Thanks, Brad, and of course, you are absolutely correct. I do plan on one day finishing the interior, but I was just too excited about building more buildings at the time and so just I forged on to newer things. Thing is, when you start a (...)

Looks nice. The see-through nature of the thin-walls make it seem a little too "empty" though. I know how you feel about exteriors coming before interiors, but you might want to try doing a little something, perhaps in the lobby, just to make it (...)

Ok, question, do you have a website up yet? I think it'd be cool to have that standards up on the net so that people could build modules & come & display with you. Say you went to display in town B... Well if someone lives there that isn't actully a (...) (23 years ago, 21-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) To Jason and Cary: It's actually pretty sturdy. The only real potential weak spot is where I have stacked the thin walls with the 1x2 dark gray plate in between them. If you will notice the row of plates onto which the grill tiles are (...) (23 years ago, 21-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch)

Although this building is new to the net, I actually began building it last year after a huge sale of 4561s from Walmart. The building took all of the 1x2x3 trans light blue thin wall elements from over 40 sets (I've forgotten how many came in each (...)
