Yes, you observed that very well. The truck can't drive down from the quay wall. It's still a construction site, so to speak. But the truck is simply there as an advertising object. It's also somewhat out of date (1997). Yes, the Vacation Hideaway is also a little gem. It perfectly represents the era. It's simple yet full of loving details that capture the imagination. Of course, there are more sets I'd like to add. Currently, I've added the 6369 Auto Repair Shop, the 6671 Utility Repair Lift, and the 6613 Telephone Booth. Best regards, Sebastian

Thank you so much for all the positive feedback and inspiration! I'm really pleased. And I'm glad to revive some of the nostalgia for some of you. I'll be happy to keep you updated here about any further additions. But I still need to work on my photography skills. Best regards, Sebastian

Hello everyone, I'd like to show you my Classic Town project here. I realize that assembling and arranging sets according to instructions is not an outstanding achievement. But maybe I can reach at least a few nostalgic fans here. The town mainly covers the catalogs from 1988 to 1991 (yes, the Space Shuttle program came later). While it's very individual and subjective, for me personally, some of the most beautiful and formative sets were in circulation during those years. Starting with the all-electric 12V train with all its features, such as electric switches, signals, and level crossings, through timeless sets like the parking garage with gas station and the harbor sets, to the iconic airport shuttle. Of course, there were other beautiful sets after 1991. However, the switch to 9V train and the printing of individual faces on the minifigure heads, among other things, represented a real turning point for me. I just like the simple smiley faces of the classic figures. They cheer you up immediately when you see them, and there are no predefined characters. I limited myself to using only original sets for my layout. Furthermore, I didn't change the plate layout, meaning the sets were integrated into the city just as they were built on the baseplates according to the instructions. So, without moving them on the baseplates. I also strictly avoided stacking baseplates on top of each other or anything like that. Just baseplate to baseplate. However, with the monorail, it presented me with a bit of a challenge, as there's a gap of four studs between the airport and the city center. The lighting also basically consists only of original 12V parts. I'd like to expand on these further. I also want to bring a bit more life into the city in the form of minifigures, signs, and greenery. I'm also envisioning a background in the classic style. I'll be happy to keep you updated. Thanks for reading and watching! Best regards, Sebastian

I can understand your opinion. Lego stands for innovation and creativity. But I think it is a chance to see if there is a strong base in the community to bring back some classic (and in my opinion some really nice) sets of the past. We're not living in the past only because we love some "Oldies". You won't lose anything to test it. And LEGO is only interested in selling sets and making money. And in my opinion CUUSOO offers some other options. For example bringing some additions for existing sets like an additional wagon for the Emerald Night or the Maersk Train. Greetings, Knicky

And of course the Space Monorail 6990: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/1105 And the Classic Space Ships (487, 497): http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/1108 http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/1111 Greeting, Knicky

And the Green Grocer too: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/1103 This CUUSOO is a very nice idea! :-) Greetings, Knicky
