| (...) An interesting question. I played with LEGO all through my childhood years. Now, with the resources of Lugnet, I can actually identify some of the earliest sets I had as a youngster, and I know that they were released only a couple years after (...)

| | Re: Colored gears

| These are pre-Technic gears. There are actually two types. One with a round hole in the middle which were released in the US/Canada by Samsonite, and a second with an axle hole in the middle that were released in Europe. They are not directly (...) (22 years ago, 15-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

| | Re: My Santa Fe Train Kit Theories
