Bill Ward’s Brickpile

These two buildings, both built on 16×32 stud baseplates, have been featured in many BayLTC displays over the past couple of years. They were built in a modular fashion so that floors can be mixed and matched if desired, and taken apart for more compact storage and transport.

The blue building has a removable module […]

The Blackburn Hotel is a building that I have displayed may times as a part of the Bay Area LEGO Train Club layouts at train shows and meetings, but never blogged about.

It is one of several 16×32 footprint downtown buildings which I created for the layout one time a few years ago when I heard […]

This truck is for carrying sand, gravel, LEGO bricks, or similar material. A door in the bottom opens to allow dumping. I later rebuilt the trailer to produce a second version of this model.

This little cafe showed off some rare printed bricks and was good at filling small spaces on the BayLTC layouts.

This simple cafe kiosk has an espresso machine and cash register, and two tables to enjoy your coffee at.

Recently I posted about some little houses that I had built for the BayLTC train shows. The photos for that are on Flickr, but I wanted to also publish them on Brickshelf which I now have done.
In addition, you can find LDraw instructions for each of the three houses should you be interested in […]

I built a trio of small houses (16×16 stud footprint) as practice in building in different architectural styles with LEGO. There is a Victorian with bay window, a house with a dormer window in the roof, and a steeply-roofed house.
They’re all a bit too small to be realistic, even by LEGO standards, so I […]

For the past year or so, the train station on the Bay Area LEGO Train Club layouts at train shows and museums has been my San Ladrillo Suburban Train Station.
This is a modern suburban train station, with one platform and two tracks. Passengers boarding trains on the outer track wait on the main platform, […]
