Lines everywhere running to a pool and they ended up building a pressure boiler shack. Quite the set up. Are you this complex?

The use of snow as a prop is great. Maybe tomorrow you can post the ice planet version!

The first meeting I had with them, I brought some building, trains, vehicles (just sets) and they were sold. It took a little more to work the details as they are an organization with a structure, history, and like to work a certain way. We…Read more

I would love to have the Lugs team (whoever was interested) work to integrate and refresh portions of the display bi-annually. The problem was they were not open this year, so they are on hold for now.

I decided to go out on a lim and drive to West Virginia to buy it. It was the real deal. Some of the blocks are aged, but must are not and there are over 250 monorail track pieces, 7 vehicles and working motors which was my main interest. I was surprised by the amount of bulk legos, 9V/12V train and accessories and…Read more

Here is an example of the track that the original owner had. Quite elaborate. He was an architect, so he did a nice job of sketching it out.

I just bought a huge lot of monorail (7 trains and 100s of pieces of track) with the idea of integrating it with some locos in a lay-out. Does anyone have a suggestion on favorite tram designs to integrate? I have the airport shuttle, but it is pretty simplistic compared to the current designs. If we every start setting up displays, I…Read more

Do you have any tickets left for the brick bar? My wife said she wanted to go….so why not. If I could get 4 it would be great.
Not sure what you may have left at this point.
Thanks, Len

I do not have the Eiffel Tower. For some reason I did not see the Alpine Village. I really like the idea of the lego backdrop of mountains.

I only have the modular building on shelves in my basement. Very little re-use of scenery.I use a paint brush to dust them every so often. There are a decent amount of old blocks in the the white snow, so watch out where those huskies go.

I will be out of town 2 of 4 weeks in January, but February should be better.
