Christmas List of Legos for Will

Will presented me with his Christmas list of desired Lego components. Santa, this is your moment!


















Update: Construction has begun on the railroad crossing components. Next up: Safety fence and lighting deployment, playground design, determining the location for the ATM, adding the restaurant, and foliage placement. Designing a Lego city is serious business.
