KEVA Planks Used to Construct Railroad Display

hand with the KEVA planks, you know that you can build whatever you can
imagine! From towers reaching to
the ceiling to delicate skyscrapers, we've seen you build it.
Beginning February 1, volunteers from the
San Diego Model Railroad Museum will build a model railroad display, based on

Construction will continue into March in the "Block Busters!"
