(...) True. If it's a oneoff, that is... I hardly ever display oneoffs, most of what I display is either commercial production work (mine from MTW, or others), or one of multiple copies, or if I really care, I capture it in LDraw. My bullet train is (...) (21 years ago, 23-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains.org)

I don't worry so much about getting it back together as much as I worry about finding all the pieces again. Nothing worst than having to crawl around the floor of a crowded convention center looking for pieces. I prefer to be able to relax and enjoy (...) (21 years ago, 24-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains.org)
