I used to be into "real" model railroading when I was young, and have been wondering when someone would get DCC to work with Lego. The day someone accomplishes this is probably the day I get into Lego trains. :) -- Paul Davidson Matthew Bates (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | Where to find 8880 & 8448
|
|
I've been looking for both 8880 & 8448. I assume 8880 is no longer made and that I'll have to get it someplace like E-bay. Is this the case? I can't find 8448 in any TRU's or ZB's. Would S@H be my next best option? Thanks from a newbie, Chris (24 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic)
