Perhaps it's a query as to whether the particular themes will be discontinued by TLG?

I'm a software engineer specializing in distributed application design and development ( read: webmaster). I'd much rather be a railroad engineer. But alas, I'm too old for a career change.

Very nice Sava. Makes me want to go to the state railroad state park. Btw, where at in Texas are you?
-
I'm loving this Jimbo. Keep going. Very inspiring work, and hopefully it will rub off on my freight/crew change yard.

Thanks! Actually, the truck is there and got cut from the frame. Wider view attached for reference :) I agree, and if you look behind the office, you'll see the guy taking his union-mandated nap.

Because these guys are building it! Was just going to set up a construction site, and this vig was dying to be made. I love the construction theme, and should use them more. Perhaps I will... As always, C&C welcome.

Thanks. I still need to build a fence around the freight yard, but I like it's location. Only wish I had more space for multiple spurs. And I'd prefer a diesel locomotive, as that's what we have here in the states. Waiting on the Maersk train I guess, though I might MOD this one since Union Pacific is mostly yellow, and the predominant line around these parts. Thanks Jay! I don't know if the nike shop will stay where it is, at this point it's a place holder. I'm going to build outside dining for the pizza shop for sure. There's a really good burger joint here in San Antonio that is right agaisnt the UP freight yard, so I'm going for some along that line. As for the bank and house by the airport, I'm trying to create a more suburban area, and think a bank down town would be less 'modern' looking.

Ok - I got a lot done over the weekend, even thought the snow was gone by early afternoon Friday - Here's what happened to the airport - Ariel View And street level - And here's downtown - Aeriel 1 and 2 And street level 1 2 3 And the freight yard Please let me know what you all think.

Yes, it's 14feet by four feet. It was originally going to be an O scale train layout, before the return of Lego to my life. I'm on my mobile, so the best I can do for a long shot is a link to one I uploaded to flckr - http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/55775799@N06/5418554841/sizes/m/

So, it's a snow day here in Central Texas, and I can't get to work, so it's a perfect opportunity to get my lego city straightened out! The area is 14x4', and here is it's current state - The West Side - this is supposed to be the 'downtown area'. The issue is where to put the yellow train station and courthouse. I'm thinking about putting the whole area one baseplate back, but this will require moving the freight yard behind the modular buildings. The central area - This is the 'residential area'. I really want this to be a transist-oriented walkable type community with mixed residences and businesses. Obviously the things like the Crystal King and Nuckel's ATV must go. East Side - This is the airport area and is total mess as a catch all. The airport and the train track get in each other's way. I'm totally open to suggesstions And in between the residential area and the airport - the Grand Carousel, around which I'd like to build a carnival/theme park area. I'd really appreciate suggestions, and will post updates as I work on it today. Seems like the perfect bad weather project.

It's got to be at least 5 counting the tan windows...

Jimbo this is awesome. Between looking at the stuff you and LightningTiger build, I want to completely scrap my city an build it from scratch. I even went and picked up an apple tree house the other day when TRU sent me a 20% off coupon.

"I prayed you bring me a fresh horse..." I took some of the advice offered here in creating and photographing my second wild west vig. Please comment and criticize.

I'm speechless. Everything about this is incredible. Great work!
