Thank you for some good ideas. Similar I tested with connecting different areas when crossing railroads. In fact Fluxington provided me with some more ideas how to seperate the different areas.

My Lego City was missing an airport for a very long time. Ok, I have the airplane of the 80s, I have helicopters from the 80/90s but never a place for them to get to (except the emergency helicopters with landing platforms on police stations, hospitals and fire brigade/ships). I am truly sorry I missed the airfields in my 'dark years' with the landing strips. So I stettled with the latest airport: 7894. The building is nice in my city, even combined with a lot of classic buildings. In its height its just as out of scale as the creator houses, hospital and numerous other new buildings are. For me that building blends in nicely. Like stated before, the airplane is the real trouble. Since it has the looks of a small commercial jet, it is to much in scale with real life instead of the rest of lego town. To bad you need its size to make it fit on the passenger bridge to enter the plane. My old 80s planes doesnt fit on that one. Overall I dont think the set is terrible and the building fits in nicely... Still, back to the poll, I drewl when I see the winner of this poll: 6597 Century Skyway/10159 LEGO City Airport. I think on one day I will add this one to my collection since it has everything an airport needs, especially the landing strip!

ok, lets fire away with a question that is startling me for some time. In my 20 years of lego collecting I obtained a lot of road-plates. Problem with these is that they changed in the years. Below a short summary of the plates in my collection: First I started to pick up some grey, with green lines like this one: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=610px1 Followed by the slightly modified grey, with green lines but with side-walk like this one: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=2361p01 Finally I have a lot of the newer roads in my collection like this one: http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?...;cn=356&d=9 When this completely other type appeared I bought a lot of these, to replace my older ones, but when trying to set up a complete town-plan this conflicts often with the baseplates of buildings. And of course its quite a waste of good road baseplates. So my million dollar question is: How do you combine different types of road baseplates? Thank you ~Lockt~
