They are all neat but the Fahrenheit 451 was always very cool. I loved the rounded shape and the drop down stairway.

Re: Flying Train
It has been done in Lego by AFOLs a number of times. This is one of the best versions - http://www.heinerberg.homepage.t-online.de/schweb.htm

This is awesome. It would make a wonderful steampunk project. It reminds me of Disneyland’s Jules Verne, steampunkIsh, “Tomorrowland that never was”.

Mattie Miracle Walk Event Update
All,
It is with a sad heart that I inform you that the physical event is canceled for this year. Vicki (the event runner) will be holding a"virtual" walk this year, and hopes that we will join her next year, 16 May, 2021. The short story is that Arlington pulled all permits for events right now. If you want to join the event virtually, please go to the Mattie Miracle FB page for details. Rich

Re: Manassas Heritage Railway Festival June 6, 2020
Think I replied in the old Yahoo group, but since that switched over to just being email it hasn't always worked for me.
I plan to attend this event, should be bringing my two houses, the car dealership, and an assortment of other trains and road vehicles. I might also be bringing a diner restaurant MOC if it gets built by than, but as usual, I can leave some stuff out if we don't have enough space. I know it is a little early for track plans, but any chance we will be using long curves at this event? Finally got my streamlined steamer running good, it makes normal 9v curves just fine, but I think it would look amazing going around some wide radius ones.
