(...) I'm a sucker for plain, well-textured freight wagons and this one is a great example. With custom bogies I think it would be perfect. Tim (17 years ago, 21-Dec-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I didn't notice the motor so much as the fact that the boat floats. The image on the box and the promotional TV spots feature the boat in real water. I wonder if anyone has attempted to incorporate real water in any of their layouts. Is it (...) (17 years ago, 21-Dec-07, to lugnet.inv)

(...) These off color bricks are from the mid to late 70s and maybe into the very early 80s. The are neither kind of plastic that the Samsonite and early sets were made from, a totally different soft plastic and they grip the same as the newer (...) (17 years ago, 20-Dec-07, to lugnet.color)

(...) Well the lack of "grip" is a strong hint for CA anyway. Even if the bricks are not warped, there is some extent of shrinkage which causes the lack of grip - I think I heard from different sources that CA bricks never had too much grip to begin (...) (17 years ago, 20-Dec-07, to lugnet.color)
