I used the type of wire in the attached image. It was really challenging to get the 2×2 black 2/3 bricks apart and it took some trial and error with each wire to ensure connectivity before snapping them back together. I think @laura has done train…Read more

@laura – we certainly on for a fall trolley display? That’s where I’m thinking this will play a role.

I want to finish the edges with 1×1 tiles that I don’t have, but I have lots of 1×2 tiles. The 1×2’s won’t fit, so I’m seriously asking, is there a good way to cut a 1×2 tile in half? For example, @laura, would it be possible with a CNC or some other laser cutter?

There’s actually marbled clear/ red but the price is way out of my league. For a while they did a test in those two colors for quality inspections on molds. I have heard their process is different now but I am not sure. I still see a lot of new-ish parts in red that don’t appear in sets so maybe…Read more

Are those all original LEGO trees in your photo?

Also, did you see the thread about @laura ‘s dream about a “tall ships” display at the Washington trolley museum this summer? It seems like the USS Constellation would fit right in with that display.

Two of the vehicles are self-motorized trolleys, @laura. Considering that these trains, buildings etc. were from the 70’s, I thought they would be worth something, but this is not my area of expertise. I keep lowering the price but I guess there must be a…Read more

Don’t get me started on Snapology. Josh and I sent numerous communications to them a couple years ago, and they totally ignored us. Granted, it apparently was just one guy ignoring us, and supposedly he’s gone……Read more
