Power City Construction Girder and Panel

First time I have seen these.  I went to Ebay and found several for sale through ToysRUs.  Looks exactly like the old Girder and Panel parts...  Interesting since Bridge Street Toys has been reproducing the old Girder sets with new colors and panels so I am now wondering if they are producing these under a new name for certain stores???  Anyway, here are a few pictures of what I have done with the various Girder and Panel sets as well as some American Skyline and even two of the 3200 series Uberarc sets.  I also scratch build tall buildings out of all kinds of re-purposed materials...

Alan,  You my friend are the master of the highrise.  A litle bit of Chicago (really quite a bit) in Mountain Home.  Pat B.

Alan.  Your city looks incredible and has really captured the atmosphere of big cities like Chicago and San Fran, etc.  Hulking high-rises one after the other, all standing over a river, a bustling downtown and well-working industrial areas.   Wide streets made narrow with too much traffic.  Trains, cars, and people in layers of transportation infrastructure.  It's a lovely model . . . and the type of place I have spent the last thirty years trying to avoid.  I'm sure AMCDave would agree with me: it's a great place to model but I wouldn't want to live there!

Great stuff.  You ought to do an article in the magazine on you skyscrapers - call it Getting High. 

Thanks guys!

Lee:  every time I go up into the train room and look at that big city...it reminds me of how lucky I am to live where I do!!..

The sets from Bridge street toys are great   http://www.bridgestreettoys.com/   They are duplicates of the old kenner sets and come in different colors  We painted them a flat color and use them as buildings under construction  Add a crane next to them and they are good  You can see one with partially completed floors in these pics
