Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area LEGO® Train Club (WamaLTC)
Greenberg’s Toy and Train Show in Upper Marlboro, Maryland on February 9–10, 2002
Locomotives and rolling stock
The distinctive shapes and Class A railroad liveries of Constantine’s locomotives in particular elicited knowing expressions of recognition from our train-savvy visitors.
We had a pair of trolleys controlled by an RCX so that one would start up as the other arrived at the station. While they ran really fast on Saturday, more realistic speeds were achieved on Sunday.
Kevin’s Metrorail cars
Shortening them to a non-prototypical length improved their structural integrity and operational performance (slightly).
Bob’s movie theater
Constantine’s bank
Modeled after a photograph Constantine found in the book Lost America: From the Atlantic to the Mississippi and representing The National Exchange Bank of Hartford, Connecticut which in the original bore a Rebuilt 1869 sign near its top and was demolished in 1917.
