No offense taken, david. I know that my style is a little abrasive. Did you see Shiri Dori's posting? It recommends checking out (URL) on 'Displays by Lego', then on 'Wild West'. It's pretty rad. I especially liked the brown railroad ties. (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.western, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.trains)
