(...) Not really. Some lost them during the war, all lost them after war. Speed gain was not worth the maintance headachs they caused. (and I am not a spotter, I am a owner/operator...look at: (URL) a photo of my monster, in 3.5" gauge.) James (26 years ago, 13-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)
 
  Re: Library of Tricks?
 
(...) clever (...) Man, that's exactly what I'd love to see ... a set of Design Patterns for Lego construction, much like Alexander's patterns for architecture or the Gang of Four's patterns for object-oriented software.

  New Theme Idea...
 
I got an idea of a sunken ghost ship theme. Mabey like an addition to divers. I mean, a ghost ship could be a ship made of totally transparent and glow in the dark pieces & figures. Could you imagine a pirate ship totally transparent? Hope the lego (...) (26 years ago, 13-Aug-00, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: 8458 Silver Champion is incredible!
 
(...) In catalog pictures, I see a guy in it with a helmet that looks unlike that of a normal (Technic) figure. Does it have a new figure? Alan (26 years ago, 13-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)

Sorry that I hadn't replied earlier... WOW! That micro-fig capital ship is amazing, I have to concur with Mark and Kyle, that rotating fighter launch bay is just awesome! Great stuff, can't wait to see more! (...) (26 years ago, 13-Aug-00, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Linux & RCX mini-HOWTO- comments/thoughts?
 
(...) Actually, I'd love to have it translated. However, if you could wait until I've "finalized" it, I think that would make much more sense.

  Re: best train set for starting out
 
(...) Curt, Set 4565 is definitely the way to go. I've recently discovered LEGO trains, and bought 4559 first. Hard to make freight equipment out of that set,managed to make a 'critter' and a pair of depressed-center flatcars,but that's it. Since (...) (26 years ago, 13-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Knight's Kingdom Set 4807
 
Brian and Dave I will also mention that I have a lot of the long gray axes and crossbows. Let me know if you are interested in obtaining some. I could outfit a pretty good size army with what I have. I prefer bows and spears for my army of Black (...) (26 years ago, 13-Aug-00, to lugnet.castle)

I hope y'all like this. Please LMKWYT. :-) (I have no clue what the part number is for this thing. Steve, Tore, do either of y'all know?)

  new "icon" for dixielug gallery account
 
Howdy! Because yours truly decided to be slightly masochistic today, the Lego CAD people now have a data file for the Stetson (cowboy hat) (see "(URL) Naturally, seeing as "Bubba" actually wears a brown Stetson instead of a (green) Deere [sp?] (...)
