(...) The MILLION dollar question is... Is there a 3rd Party Vendor even interested in making the 9V parts? TLC could offer the license (I doubt they will) but if there is no party interetsed then it is pointless. (20 years ago, 4-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Here's another example of a Lego table in the Lego CD. I use a LOT of these types of tables to show the variations in Lego parts/sets. And it is much easier to read than just text! Here is a table of all the Lego windows and door varieties. (...) (20 years ago, 5-Apr-06, to lugnet.general)

(...) Dear Rafe, thanks for your story here. It was more worth than just 2 cent for me! I only hope some people at LEGO see, that metal track trains attract lots of people and that these often enough end with a 100.000 ++ collection of bricks. And (...) (20 years ago, 4-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains)

It is nicely done - great proportion and articulation.
