Christina brought a yard sale find and Margaret checked the parts content.
Aaron built a mini Imperial Star Destroyer.
Bob arrived with a track mobile with rail and road wheels…
…the high speed locomotive he has been building with the Jack Stone nose piece…
…the in real brick crawler he’s been hoping to build since making it in POV-RAY many years ago…
…and, oh, yes, his Budd Rail Diesel Car with the exquisitely rare 1×2×2 Window in gray.
Jim and Maelee had a mobile platform with Gatling guns…
