We’ll use yours primarily in the rail yard in lieu of some of the LUG Bases where the track isn’t fully ballasted.

The Home and Garden Show in early March is a good next candidate for these, although I would expect it will be more city and less…Read more

Some 3D topography with rolling hills/farm/paths/streams/forest/etc.

I picked up a party bus for $64 (retails for $80) and the wooly mammoth set, which was labeled for $60. When I checked out, the wooly mammoth came up to retail at $120. I had to go to…Read more

Also looking to get rid of the ninjago backdrop that @arcadiumsol brought over, unless he just wants to take it back. Not sure if we have any die hard ninjago fans that would love it in their room or not…
