Nice old sets, I have them too :-)

Lutz Uhlmann, the LGEO author, hasn't made any update for more than 3 years,
but have a collection of 12 parts, that I have corrected.
I plan to publish the parts after the next L3P update.

      Question: how can I, in POVray, prevent this particular part
      being taken from the LGEO library and use the 'normal' LDRAW
      dat file? I did try myself to delete some lines in my POV file,
      but no result...

Currently the only way is to hack the binary file l2p_elmt.tab,
but I think it's better to fix the bad LGEO parts:

In lg_3144.inc change all occurrences of 25 to 12.5 and 0.12 to 0.08

Please report (perhaps in cad.ray) if you find more erroneous parts.
