The October issue of CTT (the other mag) shows you how to build your own El using simple/inexpensive materials. I would've liked a step-by-step photo approach for those of us who have never worked with these materials, but I guess it's better than nothing. The layout they used is very nice - the scene looks like a busy NYC in the 40's/50's.

im not familiar with CTT, can you spell out the name please?

i'm going to guess classic toy trains???

yeah, i figured it out about 5 minutes after I posted, lol
