This weekend the National Train Show, of model railroad builders will be at Cobo Center. Lots of interesting train layouts, including some spectacular LEGO buildings: http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs .dll/article?AID=2007707270422 The Penobscot and Stott Buildings are seen in the Freep photos. Take your family for a fun event. Kids will love it! (So will the grownups!) |

I am tempted to go just to see the detroit lego buildings. I will have to verify that all of the setbacks are correct on the Penobscot. Actually, in that photo, the Penobscot looks a bit too stretched vertically (to be picky), but I think it may be an artifact of the photo angle. |

Hornwrecker and I saw "The General" at the DTOS many years ago. It is fantastic! It is a wonderful experience to see and hear the sounds of the past. |
