Hi all, Just doing some leasurely reading on (URL) set in 1992 "A Guinness record in railway line construction is set - 545 metres of LEGO rails with three model locomotives." So is the 2000 feet layout still up for the challenge? Santosh (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks! I think I might start to bocus more on microfig scale creations. Although, the things I build tend to be quite a bit bigger than yours. Is there something between micro and minifig? I think the official name for those parts is: V.ariable (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)

Just when I think I'm getting really good at making models, you come along and destory my ego :) I really do like the new layout and of the course the models. I'll be going it in depth later tonight. However, I did notice a problem when I downloaded (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I can't agree more. There is just so much more left to be done with the western theme. I hope they bring it back before to long. I still would love to see a mexican-american based sub theme and a northern mountain man type of sub theme. David (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.western)

(...) There's no concrete scale for microfig, if that's what you mean. I use two different (and pretty much arbitrary) scales myself -- 341:1 and 115:1. Your microfig models tend to be closer to the latter scale. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
