But I think this is where we shine against the modulars... even if we forget
EXACTLY how to rebuild something, it *can* be rebuilt. and maybe forgetting
is a good thing, forces you to rethink the problem. Might be better the
second time!

It's been a very long time since you've worked with our modules if you think
that has any impact on rebuilding.  *grin*   We changed the water level at
one show and I completely reworked the town for this show.  Landscape
changes quite easily and the minifigures never end up in the same spot.  I

exact placement, look, and style of a particular model.  Hence they are more
nervous about a break that cannot be repaired.  Like you mention, you don't
run one-offs for just that reason.  If there is no worry about a loss of the
car on the design then I would agree that it does not have any bearing.

(...) 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 (...) (22 years ago, 23-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains.org)
