LT

All of the utes outside the pub will need a dog in the back.

When the dogs are all barking, in unison, the owners put down their beers, turn on their stools and yell, " Shudup ya mongrel"

Then there is peace and quite for another half hour and then the scene is repeated.

I'm curious to know what else you have planned legohappy

by **Lightningtiger** Wed 05 Dec 2012, 4:33 am

What else do I have planned.....in the short term a fuel depot which could be expanded in the end to a truck stop/road house....that's long term. Maybe an expansion of main street with a new Target Country store, plus police, fire and ambulance stations.....cash and space is the limitation at the moment. legosad2

How about a council depot? Or maybe a vet?

by **Lightningtiger** Wed 05 Dec 2012, 12:31 pm

Yeah, those perhaps later on, this one heck of a w-i-p......it will continue it's growth well past Railshow 2013.
Keep watching......fuel depot tomorrow. legowink

I'll start working shortly on the last building (for the moment) in this town I have engineered - it will be for the Shell pumps/sign.....perhaps a tyre place that sells petrol....I'll see how it looks first.....keep watching ! legohappy

hi Lightningtiger just wondering are you going to post pics of the completed town or even better still are you going to have New Mannum 2012 displayed at any conventions?

by jigsaw Sat 08 Dec 2012, 12:27 am

Tiger you need to post a panoramic pic of the whole town.

by **Lightningtiger** Sat 08 Dec 2012, 1:11 am

I don't think I can do the whole thing in one shot......might have to piece it together.....I'll see what I can do.
Keep watching ! legohappy

by BrickManLJ Sat 08 Dec 2012, 2:09 am

I like the little Shell addition on the side - but might it be an idea to have a driveway or something similar leading up to it?

And yes, a panoramic pic, you've made so many buildings in New Mannum its hard to keep track of everything. legohappy

Ah, driveway.....not needed.....gravel driveway and parking areas.......fresh road tar going down as you can all see in some of the shots. legowink

More still to come....as much as I can with no cash though. legosad2

by **Free Spirit** Wed 12 Dec 2012, 3:32 am

It is looking fantastic as you can get a feel for what is New Mannum however you might have to drop into the ANZ Bank you've built and get an overdraft to improve the cash flow to keep it going for a while legowink

Keep on bricking Lightningtiger and keep up the great work legohappy

by **Lightningtiger** Wed 12 Dec 2012, 3:59 am

Thanks for the positive feedback 'FS', your model is still on hold until January sorry to say.....but I'll pass on the overdraft idea......I actually got sucked in and burn't real BAD only three years ago and nearly lost everything. legosad2

I know even my bank will say no even if I asked ! legolaugh

A sense of humour I still have it ! legowink

by jigsaw Wed 12 Dec 2012, 5:57 am

that looks awesome!

New Mannum is a great looking town

by **Lightningtiger** Wed 12 Dec 2012, 6:00 am

Thanks 'JS', I still have to finish the ceilings in two buildings plus road and rail track trim/greenery......so keep watching ! legowink

by **Lightningtiger** Thu 13 Dec 2012, 5:04 am

Air compressor done.....

More to come......keep suggesting......keep watching ! legowink

by **Lightningtiger** Fri 14 Dec 2012, 2:21 pm

Tonight I moved the whole build to another room, my wife got a little tired of seeing it on top of the entertainment unit....stack up like I did.
So now it just final trimmings, vehicles and people.....any suggestions for trackside stuff (signs, warning lights, switch boxes) ?
