this weeks finds and buys

thanks, gerisati. if the toll gate had been cheaper, id have got that too. like you, i prefer things i can link up, but then i could always surround it with stuff and hide the fact it doesnt. that carwash has been relisted quite a bit, so will get it eventually.

super, thanks for that. i found heaps of viaduct sets, but as you say, none with the station. it would be cool if it was like the auto station, but thats ok. i was thinking the bridge was a similar color to the two from the mt fuji set, due to the washed colors of the whole photo.
funny you mention moving out... i said to mum i should think about it, and the NO was out of her mouth before id even finished, lmfao. a storage unit is a good idea, but its nice to be able to go up and potter around whenever i like. quite often go up on cold days since its warmer.
yes to fancy layouts. i try and do something different each time, except for the christmas layout since that requires painted track. however, the lego winter village range is getting bigger, so will have to extend the tracks to allow room.

got the two $50 lots today. photos tomorrow, as its took dark and im too tired to take decent ones.
