For all you Lego People out there who noticed the very nice train depot on page 53 in the January 2002 issue from Lego and wondered if it was offered, it’s not. I talked to Lego about its availability and they said it was just a design to give people ideas. Since Lego isn't going to sell it, I used the pictures they provided and did up the plans in ML-CAD.
