# Raised LEGO city


Finally got myself a table where I can build a LEGO city \o/. But it turned out to small to fit both
a train track and a city layout, so I'm doing the next best thing: raising the entire city (18
base plates in total) to about 16 bricks height. This allows me run the train (well tube actually,
now) *under* the city.

This post has some under construction photos from the first parts of the build (some things are
already being redone).
