| | Train Idea Book?
|
|
Hi all, since I'm new to Lego Trains, I need some help, please. Is there a Lego Idea Book about trains? Anyone knows how to get a copy of it? Are there websites about designing & building tracks? Thanks Giulio giuliof@iol.it (25 years ago, 13-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)

Here is the police airwing building. It is supposed to go at the end of the airport, next to the landing pad. The architecture is similar to the police station.
