However I like the look of the railway sections. They're about the cheapest out there.<br /><br />As for a Vauban fortress....already got one. The very first product sold by Baccus. No longer available. It's an impressive piece of work. I may photograph it or a future blog.Trebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-38512824620931385822016-08-22T22:22:20.327+01:002016-08-22T22:22:20.327+01:00I regard burning Northampton as a victory of sorts...I regard burning Northampton as a victory of sorts.

I also enjoyed setting fire to the Odeon cinema and the car park. Err, were they around then?<br /><br />Regards, ChrisChris Kemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15784847480097649252noreply@blogger.com
