Brickwolf Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) At least the protagonists and their rides do: I just build the handcar from 7777 and staged the scene. Edited August 18, 2018 by Brickwolf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weeble1688 Posted August 19, 2018 I suspect that replies will depend on whether one grew up in the "4-wide cars" era or afterward. I personally love the juxtaposition of Bill & Mary meeting up with the handcar operator! I remember being continually enthralled with my copy of #6000, wishing I had the amount of bricks to set up displays like that when I was young. True, it doesn't compare to today's more complex trains, cars, etc. - but really, should it? I see it as a celebration of 1980s building and nostalgia for the simpler stuff back then, which I wholeheartedly appreciate having grown up in that era. I say bravo for building this scene - let it spark imaginations today like the books did nearly 40 years ago! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
